GRADUATE TRAINEE PROGRAMME
I joined Flynn O’Driscoll in 2018 and completed 
my traineeship here. Throughout my training, the 
emphasis was always on understanding the client’s 
business. There are often numerous solutions to a legal 
problem, but if you understand the client’s business, 
you understand which solutions best suits their 
commercial needs.
I gained valuable exposure to a variety of transactions 
and transaction structures which assisted me in 
developing the skills required to understand and apply 
this solutions-based approach. We consistently get 
unmatched time with partners and senior lawyers 
to ensure we’re fully supported in our professional 
development. There is a terrific culture amongst junior 
staff, and I always felt I had a network of colleagues I 
could rely on for queries and guidance.
Beyond our legal training, the firm encourages 
participation in our dedicated committees for 
sport & social, charity and diversity & inclusion. 
Responsibilities across these committees are not 
restricted depending to your seniority in the firm and 
as a result, you will have the opportunities to propose 
and take ownership of initiatives and manage projects 
which offers trainees valuable exposure to budgeting 
and management experience.
