CORPORATE GRADUATE PROGRAMME

About the programme

Portrait of Eileen Burns
“Our corporate graduate programme provides a super opportunity for early career graduates to get a broad understanding of the workings of a large corporate law firm, and especially the emerging non-traditional practice areas where legal related services are delivered to our clients. It provides a great spring board for those wishing to begin a career in the legal sector but not intent on working as a lawyer“.

The two-year programme has four six-month rotations, a bursary for further education and participation in the internal training programme.

Each rotation will offer exposure to high calibre clients and work. You will be introduced to each department, and given comprehensive training, to equip you with key skills required to succeed in the area. At every stage of the programme, you will have the support of the partners, practice group members as well as the programme coordinator and our HR team.

Following completion, participants will have the opportunity for a rewarding career at Arthur Cox in these areas:

  • Company Secretaries provide guidance and support to ensure compliance with applicable statutory and regulatory requirements. We employ fully and partially qualified company secretarial professionals in our Asset Management and Investment Funds and Company Compliance and Governance Group.
  • Listings Executives advise our client base on legal and practical requirements with regard to listing securities and investment funds on relevant stock exchanges and producing documentation to facilitate client goals. The listings executives work in the Stock Exchange Listings and Fund Registration Group, which is part of our Finance Group.
  • Paralegal and Other Legal Professionals support the legal work of various practice groups such as Litigation, Risk and Compliance, Banking and Finance, Employment, Tax, Technology and Innovation, Pro Bono, Real Estate, Knowledge, Learning and Development and Aviation. They also complete essential large scale eDiscovery, Investigations and DSAR review projects along with Due Diligence review exercises in the Legal Tech Services Practice Group. Our paralegals and legal professionals may work both at our offices and onsite with our clients and their work includes research, drafting documentation to support client litigation and transactions and other client matter management related tasks.
  • Data Management and Analytics Professionals work in varying roles which can include managing GDPR related concerns and mapping, storing, and analysing key data relating to our essential business functions. Roles in this area have previously arisen in our Business Development Team and our Legal Tech Services Group.
