McCann Fitzgerald
McCann Fitzgerald is an Irish internet law firm located in Dublin, it has branches in New York, London and Brussels
It provides legal advice and specialises in civil law. I started my work experience on Monday at Mcann. The offices were located in the city centre on the river, I took the dart every day to the city. The whole day consisted of different talks and presentations from employees, during these presentations we were given assignments and reading material to do at our desks.
During the week we were given a talk about what makes a good lawyer, this involved things like being a good listener
, being more empathetic and developing your communication skills in general.
We were given IT training on how to use Microsoft outlook and word.
On Tuesday, we visited the four courts one watched a few trials, one of which was a Ryan air defamation case. Later that day we had a talk from a barrister, we were given a good idea of what it is like to be a barrister.
on the last day I met with the head chairman of the firm, he told me about the broad range of job varieties that can be found in law firms, even in engineering.
overall I greatly enjoyed my experience in Mcann Fitzgerald, I learned what is needed to enter a career in law, I learned the different types of companies (Plc) and (Ltd) . Apart from law I wasn't given a good understanding of a normal business day and time management.
