What Have you Gained from Participating in myMentor?

  ILTA VIDEO

Hear the perspective of two participants from our last program and why they think you should apply for 2026.

"The ability to talk through some challenges with someone in the industry and get feedback."

"A different perspective on work from positions I would not normally interact with."

"I feel like this program has been hugely helpful to me. I don't have anyone else at my firm who does what I do, and it's not the kind of job that lends itself easily to developing relationships outside the company. Being able to talk with someone experienced in the field about various challenges I faced and how to handle them was wonderful!"

"Tips on how to level up my game. Exposure in what other law firms and legal IT professionals are experiencing."

"Having worked in only one law firm, it was amazing to have the opportunity to hear about other experiences. I got amazing suggestions and feedback throughout the cycle, and I had the opportunity to share my challenges with someone who truly understood."

"A greater insight into what should be expected of those managing a team, how to evaluate my own performance and how to champion myself."

"I found it very rewarding to be able to impart some knowledge and experience onto my more juniors mentees."
