Employee Profile
Alan Johnston - Partner in the Corporate Department
"From the very start I thoroughly enjoyed my training contract with A&L Goodbody, spending time in our Sports Law Group, Litigation, Corporate and Property Departments, along with a secondment to our London office. The Firm also supported my completion of a Post Graduate Diploma in Business in UCD, a Masters in Commercial Law at Cambridge University and some time working in Australia as a Paralegal before actually starting the training contract.
Initially I decided to join A&L Goodbody because the training offered is second to none. I was also influenced by the very friendly, supportive and down to earth atmosphere within the Firm. I am glad to say that looking back now, as a Partner, my first impressions have been borne out. From day one the training provided has been top class.
The "open door" policy that many other organisations claim to have is a reality at A&L Goodbody. From the Partners down, there is a real emphasis on teaching and this type of support really helps our solicitors reach their full potential. I also value the quality and variety of work available: since joining I have advised on everything from TV commercials for beer companies and the Mahon Tribunal, to selling oil refineries for major international clients. I find that this variety and quality of work, combined with the very supportive professional development on offer, provides the perfect work environment."
