The ArbitralWomen Mentorship Programme links experienced dispute resolution practitioners (general counsel, lawyers in private practice, mediators, arbitrators and experts) with talented, ambitious women with high potential, enabling the latter to benefit from the advice and experience of the former.
Applicants are matched with a Mentor from their jurisdiction, sector or professional background. When a match is confirmed, the mentoring partners meet regularly (such meetings need not be in person), at a frequency that is convenient for both for one year.
Applications can be submitted for both Mentors and Mentees by current ArbitralWomen members via the ArbitralWomen website. The application window for this year’s programme is 15 August to 15 September 2023. Look out for posts on the ArbitralWomen social media outlets notifying of the opening of the application window.
We particularly encourage Members to apply to serve as ArbitralWomen Mentors and invite experienced practitioners, in-house counsel and those with backgrounds in forensic evaluation, compliance, and mediation to apply. It is not necessary to have prior experience as a Mentor.”
