Welcome from the Chairman

Thank you for your interest in McCann FitzGerald.  It is important to us and our clients that we continue to attract the very best law and other graduates as trainees and the very best legal and business talent to our pool of professional lawyers.  I hope that this section of our website will be helpful to you in learning more about our firm, our work, our culture and our people.

This is something that we at McCann FitzGerald understand, and have gone to great lengths to address in our trainee programme, which we believe to be among the best of its kind.

This programme has been carefully structured to provide exposure to high-quality work in all areas of the firm’s practice, while placing a strong emphasis on the development, both personal and professional, of each individual trainee.  Our work environment is highly collegiate.  Against a background of respect for and support of the individual, we strive to encourage imagination and innovation in all our people.

Our clients know they can rely on us when the stakes are high or the issues particularly challenging. We want to keep it that way. We can only do so by continuing our investment of time and resources in recruiting and nurturing exceptional people - not only those with top grades but also those with character, energy and the sense of practicality and flexibility which clients require in their legal advisers and which complex modern transactions demand.

We are very pleased that you are considering bringing your own unique talents and strengths to McCann FitzGerald.

John Cronin
Chairman, McCann FitzGerald
