"I take great pride in being the Sponsor for our Corporate Graduate Programme. As Head of the Company Compliance and Governance Practice Group, the value added by well-trained, educated and experienced company secretarial professionals has been very apparent to me for many years. While company secretarial is one of the best examples of where law and practice meet and are applied, there are many other practice areas that benefit from talented Corporate Graduates. I am an ardent advocate for this development in Arthur Cox. More and more practice groups are participating in the Programme and hire Corporate Graduate alumni into their teams on completion of the programme."

Culture
Our culture is warm and open, honest and appropriate. Our approach is modern and our reputation is well-known. Our global mindset and international approach ensures we are forward-thinking and our domestic roots maintain our pride in our heritage, our domestic work and the way our firm has shaped the Irish economy and supported Irish corporations. We are proud of our past achievements in shaping the legislative and corporate landscape in Ireland. We also are proud of our more recent ones and we look forward to our future ones.
Our people are not corporate in style, focusing on being collaborative team players for each other and for clients. Personal development is key for everyone who works in the business. Our people know that strength doesn’t have to come from standing out, but from being standout. There is lots of room for energy, personality and diverse points of view.
Our business is all about opportunity and is, in itself, an attraction for talent. Our culture lives that experience every day.
Equality, Diversity & Inclusion
Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) has been a business imperative here at Arthur Cox for a number of years. It is central to the culture and ethos of the firm.
Our mission is to be a firm where our differences are supported and embraced and where all of our people feel like they belong and can fulfil their potential. While we have made progress on gender diversity, we are conscious that there is still a considerable amount to do.
We recognise that making progress in this area is not just about being diverse, it is also about including everyone and making everyone feel that they belong. What it boils down to is giving everyone equality of opportunity in the firm.
There are four pillars to our EDI programme: Gender, LGBTQ+, Race and Ethnicity and Disability & Neurodiversity.
