WHY CHOOSE ARTHUR COX?
WHAT WILL YOU LEARN?
"I think the benefit of internships is more in how you experience the firm and its culture than the work itself. It is a great way to gauge whether you think you would like to work in a firm before you commit to a training contract and much of that comes down to how you feel you fit with the firm’s culture.
When I was in college the Irish law firms didn’t offer summer internships but I did two summer internships in London with Clifford Chance and Slaughter & May. Doing the internships was an eye opener into the culture of those firms.
Here at Arthur Cox we make a huge effort to involve our interns in real client work. Interns are invited to sit in on team meetings and client calls and to get involved in ongoing transactions. The type of work that interns get to do includes legal research and drafting. A big benefit for the interns is that they get to know the team they are assigned to, as well as people from other practice groups across the firm. They work closely with our trainees and through them, get a real insight into what life as a trainee in the firm is like."
