Trainee Solicitor Programme Ireland

A&L Goodbody is internationally recognised as one of Ireland's largest and most successful law firms, with an extensive and top class client list, representing household names and international blue chip corporations. We offer breadth and depth of experience across every facet of business law, providing the full range of specialist services across the island of Ireland. We also have an international outlook, with offices in Dublin, Belfast, London, New York, San Francisco and Palo Alto. Our approach is simple. We focus on delivering for our clients, developing brilliant people who enjoy what they do, having a keen insight into our markets and being a responsible business. Our goal is to always be a step ahead – for our clients, our people and our community. First class information technology, knowledge systems, a knowledge centre and the ALG School of Business & Law allow you to thrive within our firm.

We are currently expanding our headquarters due to continued growth within the firm. The firm has decided to increase its annual trainee intake by 10% and will hire 150 trainees over the next three years.

As a Trainee Solicitor, you'll have the opportunity to discover which areas of law interest and engage you most. Some people are born litigators, others love the dynamics of a commercial deal and some absorb themselves in employment law, taxation and restructuring. Our Trainee Solicitor Programme is designed to encourage and develop every person's unique qualities.

All of our Trainee Solicitors work within our main departments: Corporate and M&A, Disputes & Investigations, Finance and Commercial Property
Although a primary degree is pre-requisite, we are looking for candidates from all disciplines. Whether you have studied law as an undergraduate or not, if you are interested in a career in corporate law, we want to hear from you. We are looking for candidates who have the drive to succeed as top class lawyers and become future leaders of our firm.

We look for evidence of the following attributes:

• Intellectual Ability, Judgement & Commercial Awareness
• Ability to Build Relationships
• Commitment to Career Choice
• Motivation and Initiative
• Effective Communication
• Adaptability & Resilience
