Leading Graduate Employer
Arthur Cox consistently emerges as the law firm of choice for job seeking graduates in the legal sector.
The firm was ranked as the most popular legal recruiter in 2009, 2010 and 2011 by Ireland’s 100 leading graduate employers survey.
The GradIreland/Irish Times survey reveals Ireland’s most sought-after employers from the perspective of students and graduates. The results were compiled from almost 20,000 student and graduate votes during a four-month period ending in March 2011. The survey was open to students and graduates from all third level colleges in Ireland, north and south. This is comfortably the largest survey of student and graduate opinion in Ireland. The survey is part of the European Student Barometer and is conducted by Europe’s leading graduate research firm, trendence. The data produced decide the winners of Ireland’s 100 and contribute also to a wider pan-European study across 22 countries.
