In addition, we pay for the Law Society fees for all trainee solicitors as well as covering the examination fees for the FE1s and both Irish exams.
In keeping with our ethos of tailoring our trainee solicitor programme to the particular skills and interests of each individual trainee solicitor, we encourage you to avail of every opportunity to continue your academic and professional development both within and outside the office.
