Why William Fry

With a long-standing reputation for innovative advice and superior client service, William Fry is one of Ireland’s premier law firms ranked in the top tier by legal market commentators such as Chambers Global and the Legal 500. Our clients include leading Irish companies in all major sectors of the economy, Government departments and agencies, and household names in the FTSE 100 and Fortune 500. William Fry Partners are widely recognised as leaders in their areas of expertise, and the Firm is renowned for the strength and depth of its long-lasting client relationships.

We have approx 380 people working in our principal office in Dublin.  We also have an office in New York and a formal association with Tughans (www.tughans.com), Northern Ireland's largest law firm. William Fry is therefore well placed to provide quality legal services to Irish and international clients with business interests in Ireland, across Europe and the US.

William Fry is an exciting, challenging environment which continually provides our people with opportunities to demonstrate their shared commitment to delivering practical legal solutions for clients who demand the very best. Working as a team, we demand a lot of ourselves and never settle for second best. Our friendly open-door approach fosters learning and encourages and rewards initiative. Drawn from a diverse range of backgrounds and academic disciplines, William Fry people welcome new ideas and want to make a difference – both in our work for clients and through  involvement in charitable, community and environmental initiatives.

What does this mean for you as a Trainee?

From the outset, you’ll be working for high profile clients as a member of a client service team where each individual’s contribution is valued and encouraged. We thrive on the Firm’s capacity to take on the most complex challenges and on our dedication to finding practical, commercial solutions to legal problems. From day one we start equipping our Trainees with the skills they need to deliver to clients in this way.
