KALA Mentoring Program

KALA Mentoring Program is one of the best ways for students and graduate lawyers to connect, network and learn from industry experts, as well as obtain an insight into the practical realities of the legal profession.

For mentoring solicitors, it is an invaluable opportunity to participate in the fostering and the development of a future fellow legal practitioner.

KALA invites both new and previous participants in the Mentoring Program to join as either a Mentor (practicing solicitor with 3 or more years of PQE) or a Mentee (current law student or a law graduate with less than 3 years experience).

The participants will be divided into groups consisting of two Mentors and three Mentees, according to the area of expertise and interest. The groups are encouraged to meet at least once a month and we encourage participants to arrange additional group and one-on-one meetings across various groups. We further encourage all participants to maintain their relationships with their groups after the end of the program year.

If you would like to participate in the Mentoring Program, please email your enquiries and expressions of interest to koreanaustralianlawyers@gmail.com.
