Having moved to William Fry fresh out of UCC in 2000, I was immediately struck by how focussed and impressive the Traineeship programme was. Together with the breadth and depth of experience and knowledge readily available to me I could not have asked for better training.  Now an Associate in Corporate, I still draw on experiences and contacts from my trainee years.  Another constant is the great sense of collegiality. This, coupled with the opportunity to work on headline Irish and international transactions, ensures my career at William Fry is always enjoyable and challenging.
