Careers

We take great pride in recruiting outstanding individuals at all stages of their career and providing them with the opportunities, training and support to develop their careers at Matheson Ormsby Prentice

Investment in talent

We recognise that our future success depends on recruiting the brightest in the market and investing time and resources to develop their knowledge and capabilities. Our aim is to nurture individual talent by providing a stimulating and rewarding professional environment for our people and delivering an exceptional level of service to our clients.

Client-focused service

Our approach is rooted in our commitment to provide our clients with exemplary advice and service. We are recognised as the Irish law firm of choice by the International Law Office for four of the last five years. All of the training and development that we provide is focused on enabling individual lawyers and teams to provide outstanding service to our clients. This means providing development and training opportunities in three main areas: legal knowledge, professional skills and commercial skills.

Legal knowledge

As you would expect, we provide a comprehensive Legal Education Programme that is designed to keep our lawyers abreast of new developments in the law as well as providing information and analysis of issues that are topical. This firm-wide programme is supplemented at group level with programmes that focus on the key issues of interest to lawyers in each area. In addition, we support trainees and qualified lawyers who wish to pursue post-graduate qualifications in their chosen area.

Professional skills

As your legal knowledge develops, you will have greater responsibility and we work with you to ensure that you have the skills to take advantage of the opportunities presented. Our development programmes ensure that you have the skills to advise clients appropriately, manage transactions effectively and manage other lawyers.

Commercial skills

As your career develops, you will be required to advise our clients on their most sensitive commercial issues, provide strategic advice and build your practice. Matheson Ormsby Prentice, uniquely among Dublin firms, is recognised for its entrepreneurial culture and for providing ambitious lawyers with the opportunities to develop their practice areas. Not only do we provide you with these opportunities but we also provide you with the training, coaching and support to take full advantage of them.

Whether a partner, a member of our research team, a Learning and Development specialist or an external consultant, all programme leaders have the expertise to ensure you have the skills you need to develop your knowledge and capabilities.
