Placement Opportunities

Stephanie Byrne | LLM in International and Comparative Business Law student
I am a law graduate from LYIT and decided to pursue the LLM in International and Comparative Business Law at University of Galway to further my career prospects in the corporate law sector. I have been awarded a 2-month internship at Flynn O'Driscoll Business Lawyers, Galway. This placement will benefit my career greatly as I will gain valuable and practical experience through working with national and international clients.

Sadbh MacDermott | LLM in International and Comparative Business Law student
I completed my BCL undergraduate degree in University of Galway in 2018. I decided to further my education with the LLM in International and Comparative Business Law which proved to be a fantastic learning experience that will progress my career in commercial legal practice. I was lucky to get a 10 week placement with Ronan Daly Jermyn Solicitors as part of the commercial placement. I feel confident as I start my placement as the subjects I covered in the programme have provided me with a strong knowledge base and team based activities, such as Moot Court, have improved my communication and collaboration skills immensely.

I am looking forward to the internship with Matheson Law firm as I believe I will be able to apply my course learnings to the work in a commercial firm.
