I'm excited to share a new series of video content celebrating a handful of incredible entrepreneurs and game-changers in the legal profession.
Welcome to The Neurodivergent Lawyer Entrepreneurs Week 2021 Video Series!
In this edition, I sit down and chat with US-based student and Founder of the global internship platform LawyerUp, Umeesha D'Alwis.
In this video, we explore:
Umeesha's journey to create LawyerUp,
How networking was the key to selling the program to dozens of distinguished lawyers, recruiters and career coaches from all over the world,
Where she sees LawyerUp going in the future,
That you shouldn't be afraid of making mistakes and learning from them when creating something of your own, and
That Disney World is still king of the parks!
Enjoy the video!
As an extra following this session, Umeesha has very kindly offered a discount code to anyone wanting to enrol on the internship program this year.
So go to https://lawyerupinternship.com/collections/all, select the internship package you want to purchase, and enter the discount code NEURODIVERGENTLAWYER20 to knock 20% off the full price of a package!
I have also personally sponsored 5 interns for the basic package who are affected by economic hardship. As I had a great time on the program last year and met so many great people, speakers and interns alike, I'd like to help the program be accessible to those who may not have been able to get on the program last year, or who might have difficulty with affording it this year.
To find out if you are eligible for this, get in touch with Umeesha either on Linkedin or via the website here: https://lawyerupinternship.com/pages/so-how-does-it-work
