In October, the SEC will be launching a mentoring scheme. They are at present seeking to establish a panel of volunteer mentors available to assist tenants, both new and established practitioners. It will be on a one to one confidential basis. Those seeking mentoring can choose between a mentor in the same discipline/ specialist area of practice, but from a different chambers, or a mentor from a discipline/ specialism different to their own. They will pair those wishing to be mentored with an appropriately experienced mentor, who will endeavour to assist with, for example:
- practice development opportunities
- Chambers or practice area moves
- challenges of returning to work
- challenges or conflicts within Chambers
Please email mentoring@southeastcircuit.org.uk if you would be willing to assist. It is not intended to be an onerous demand on your time.
