In a recent episode of The Lawyers Weekly Show, host Grace Robbie speaks with Selina Nikoloudakis, principal of Divorce Legal, about what mentorship really means, why young lawyers should seek out mentors as they find their feet in the profession, the invaluable lessons these relationships offer that no textbook, tutorial, or training session ever could, and the growing disconnect between young lawyers and senior practitioners.

This content is available exclusively to Lawyers Weekly premium members.
Nikoloudakis also delves into how the traditional pathways to find a mentor have fundamentally shifted, points out the professional development young lawyers risk missing out on by not building these relationships, shares a new event she has launched to bridge that gap, calls on senior lawyers to step up as mentors for the next generation, and urges young lawyers to be brave enough to take the first step.
