As part of a risk management initiative, we are inviting members who have been called to the Bar for a minimum of seven (7) years to participate in our new Mentoring Program.

Informal mentoring has occurred within the profession for decades. This more formal Mentoring Program will put some structure to current networking and, in doing so, assist those who might be hesitant about asking for help, or who simply don’t know where to turn for guidance. The Program proposed here will be voluntary, a service by experienced practicing insured members who agree to provide less experienced members with assistance. Some benefits to participate include expanding your personal network, improving camaraderie among members and enhancing career satisfaction.

If you would like to participate, please reply to this email and indicate the area of law you might assist with from the following list:

Real Estate
Criminal
Civil Litigation
Tax
Commercial
Administrative/Boards/Tribunals
Estate Planning and Administration
Arbitration
Matrimonial/Family
Bankruptcy/Insolvency/Receivership
Corporate
Employment/Labour
Admiralty
Mediation
Intellectual Property

If you have any questions, please respond to this email or contact the undersigned.

Further information will be circulated when we have developed a Mentor List.
