2027 Middle East Trainee Solicitor Programme

The business of law is changing, and we want you to be right there with it. To take us from largest to leading, we are looking for trainees to join us in our Middle East offices to think big and see the future of law in a new way.

Eligibility:

Our 2027 Dublin Trainee Solicitor Programme is open to applicants who will be graduating from an England & Wales qualifying law degree in August 2026 or earlier, or have completed the PGDL prior to August 2026. We require candidates to be fluent in written and verbal Arabic.

We review every application holistically and consider all aspects of a candidate's experiences.

Please see here for information on requirements around the SQE.

If you have completed your studies outside of the UK or Ireland you can select the relevant option on the application form. This will allow you to enter your academic grades in free text boxes instead of the standard set fields. Additionally, there is a free text box available within the application form for you to provide any further information or context that does not fit within the set fields.

Before you start your application:

Please make sure that you have the following documents ready to upload. Please upload the below in docx/pdf format in files no larger than 3MB in the additional documents section of the application form. You will not be able to upload a file outside of this format.

• A copy of your current right to work in the GCC, if you have this
• Official copy of your A Levels or equivalent post-16 education, including a breakdown of your grades per subject
• Official copy of your undergraduate results up to date or official completion certificate with a breakdown of your grades per subject

Our assessment centres will take place in Summer 2026, and further details will be shared closer to the time.
