Office Hours August 25: Vineet Shahani
Mentorship programs can be formal and difficult to coordinate. And people wear more than one hat - mentor and mentee.
So we’re doing something different: Office Hours. An hour-long virtual session where lawyers looking to mentor or for mentorship. In a low-commitment, periodic format.
The third Office Hours session will be this Friday, August 25, 3-4pm ET. To make the conversation productive, we’re limiting attendance to 50 participants.
Vineet Shahani will be joining. Vineet is General Counsel, Policy and Corporate Development at Mill, a food recovery startup. Vineet will be joining to discuss all things ESG - how lawyers can advise their business to avoid pitfalls, show leadership in an ambiguous environment, and find new career opportunities in growing industries.
Sign up for Office Hours here.
