Sinead Byrne, Recently Qualified Solicitor

"I started my career at LK Shields as a paralegal and continued with the firm as a trainee as I knew that the supportive and challenging environment was the right fit for me. From an early stage, I have been involved with high profile corporate transactions and litigation matters. I continue to learn every day and the mentoring and guidance I receive means that even though the learning curve is steep, it never becomes overwhelming."

Paralegal Programme

Our paralegals primarily support our litigation department but also assist across our wide ranging practice teams.  During the programme, paralegals can expect to advance their procedural knowledge and gain real insight into the operations of a progressive commercial law firm.  The programme will appeal to those who are ambitious, personally driven and passionate about pursuing a career as a solicitor.

The next in-take for Paralegals will begin in December 2022 with the aim of having individuals commence in February or March 2023.
