GROW Mentoring
1 followers
GROW is a registered charity supporting diverse lawyers, addressing intersectionality within the legal profession and working with aspiring lawyers through one-to-one mentoring. Mentees are assigned a mentor from the legal profession who is able to offer tailored advice through frequent email contact, monthly scheduled video/phone calls and hopefully, very soon, in person catch ups, coffees and mentoring events. Since launching GROW at the start of the Covid-19 outbreak, we have successfully paired over 2000 mentees to their own mentor. Our mentors represent over 220 law firms, 85 in-house legal teams and 20 barristers chambers. The ability to support mentees digitally during this period has resulted in a seamless and flexible scheme for all involved. Sign up today!
