Careers

Dublin Trainee Solicitor

We welcome applications from students who are seeking to commence their training in April 2025. 

We seek candidates from all academic disciplines in their final year at undergraduate level with an excellent academic record or graduates who have achieved a minimum grade of 2.1 in their degree qualification. 

We will offer up to two training contracts each year and because competition for a period of training is intense, those sections of our application form that focus on your drive, initiative, and achievements are of particular importance.

Successful applicants will be invited to attend an assessment centre and an interview, and will have the opportunity to meet with partners and lawyers from the Dublin office. 

Our online application process will be open from 20 September 2023 and closes on 27 October 2023. 

You can email any queries to trainee.recruitment@klgates.com
