  • Corporate/Commercial;
  • Litigation;
  • Commercial Property; and
  • Private Client

OFX has an open-door policy in place which encourages questions and queries being raised by trainees at all times.

All of our trainees will be mentored directly by a Partner of the firm. This affords you the opportunity to work within an existing team and build relations external to OFX with fellow professionals within the business community, as well as to learn from highly experienced professionals within the firm.

Summer Intern Programme

Our Summer Intern Programme offers a unique opportunity to law graduates to experience life in a commercial law firm.

The internship lasts for a period of four weeks and includes two rotations in two different departments. The intern will be exposed to the workings of each department and will also be allocated two overarching projects as well as department specific work. Of these two projects, the first will be based on legal research skills and the second will be business development orientated.

Interns will be allocated a mentor at partner level and at trainee level as part of our Mentor Liaison System. This provides the intern with a greater understanding to the duties of a trainee and the role of partner at the firm.

Various levels of training will be provided “on the job” and admission to the internship will allow the intern access to a traineeship interview upon completion of the internship.

Summer Internships take place during the months of May, June and July and applications will be accepted from 1 February 2019 to 12 April 2019.
