My career at Keoghs

I started to work at Keoghs as a scholarship student during the university holidays. I had the opportunity to work in a number of different support and legal departments, and gained a better understanding of how a law firm operates.

My work over the holidays reaffirmed my desire to become a solicitor, and ultimately, my positive experience of working at Keoghs made me decide to apply for a training contract, and to stay at Keoghs after qualifying in 2008. 

I am now a solicitor in Complex Injury Claims team where I assist a senior partner on both catastrophic injury and regulatory cases, as well as running a few cases myself.

Working at Keoghs

The best part of my job is the opportunity to work on high value and technically interesting cases at an early stage of my legal career.  I find my work challenging and interesting.   Everyone in my team is approachable and friendly, and there is a real feeling of team spirit.
