Dublin Training Contract

Our Dublin Training Contract starts in June 2027 with an initial pre-seat with the firm, before you attend the Professional Practice Course (PPC) at Blackhall. Following this, you'll develop your legal skills and experience through a range of seat rotations across different practice areas, working with teams from across the firm.

From day one, you'll receive a comprehensive induction designed to help you settle in quickly and gain a strong understanding of the firm, our culture and the work we do.

During each seat, you'll work closely with a dedicated supervisor who will provide regular feedback, guidance and support. You'll also be an integral part of your wider team, giving you the opportunity to learn from experienced colleagues, collaborate on client matters and develop your practical legal skills through real responsibility.
Alongside your day-to-day work, you'll have access to a wide range of personal development opportunities to strengthen your interpersonal skills and commercial awareness throughout your training contract.

Applicants should either have already successfully completed all FE1 examinations or be in the process of completing them. You must pass all FE1 examinations before Spring 2027.
