EBA Mentorship Program
Mentoring - whether formal or informal - is a vital part of nearly every successful legal career. Learning from the experiences of those who have navigated the complexities of a career in energy law, such as growing client relationships, transitioning from a firm to in-house or government positions and vice versa, or being the “first” woman or person of color to hold a particular position provides important perspective and insight that can help you find the best path for your own career. Mentoring is also well-recognized as key to creating a more diverse and inclusive workplace and community.
The EBA Mentorship Program is run as a collaboration between the EBA's Senior Lawyers Council, a group of experienced EBA members committed to mentoring fellow members at the beginning of their legal careers or considering a mid-career change, and the EBA's Young Lawyers Council, a group devoted to advancing the careers of newer attorneys.

Mentor
A mentor is someone who sees more talent and ability within you, than you see in yourself, and helps bring it out of you.
Testimonial From a Mid-Career In-house Counsel
Although COVID presented a new set of challenges, the EBA Mentoring Program proved to be a success. The mentors were readily accessible and eager to share their knowledge and experience about their respective careers. I’m looking forward to maintaining connections with my mentors beyond the duration of the program.
