Employee Profile
Carole Shaw - Team Leader, Company Secretarial
"Being a team leader in the Firm's Corporate Secretarial Department, Goodbody Secretarial Limited (GSL), involves supervising a team of secretarial administrators, dealing with major domestic and international clients on a daily basis and providing assistance on company secretarial and corporate compliance matters to Partners and other fee earners within the Firm.
Four years ago I joined GSL as a company administrator. I had all the necessary knowledge but only two years experience, so I knew that joining a Firm with A&L Goodbody's excellent reputation was a great opportunity for me to develop my abilities and progress in my career. The work we do in GSL is extremely varied. While it mostly relates to corporate secretarial matters in Ireland, I am often involved with colleagues from the Corporate and other departments in a wide range of transactional work and as a result have regular contact with many people throughout the Firm."
