As part of Women in Law Hong Kong’s commitment to enhancing the profiles, skills and networking opportunities of women in the legal field, we are delighted to launch, for the third year running, the WILHK Mentoring Programme. This year's programme builds upon the learnings and successes from the previous two years, and is focused on empowering participants with confidence, support network and key skills to navigate and grow their careers. Apply today and be a part of the Women in Law Hong Kong Mentoring Programme Class of 2018!

What the professionals say:

         We have to do something about female attrition in private practice - across the industry we are bleeding female talent every year. The WILHK programme is, so far as I am aware, unique – it gives a young female lawyer the opportunity to seek impartial advice and guidance from someone she trusts without that advice being prejudiced by organisational baggage. This is why I wanted to get involved. If I can help just one person stay in the industry and make private practice more diverse, it will be worthwhile. – Allan Wardrop (2016 and 2017 Mentor)

         As a mentor I find it fascinating to see how this generation deals with people - it's very different. There truly is a generational gap;  it's not just gender but culture and age plays a role too. One of the most important skills you can acquire is to learn to relate to very different people with whom it seems you have no chemistry. – Erika Evasdottir (2016 and 2017 Mentor)
