Secure your legal career
with expert-led preparation

You can have a strong degree and still not secure a traineeship or legal role. The difference is not academic, it is strategic.

CareerEd by LawEd

Secure your legal career with expert-led preparation.

CareerEd by LawEd is designed for law and non-law graduates who want to successfully secure traineeships and competitive legal roles in Ireland.

Led by a qualified solicitor, career coach, and psychology-trained professional, this is practical, honest, and highly personalised preparation focused on what employers are actually looking for and how you position yourself to stand out.

CareerEd by LawEd
The Reality

A law degree is not a career.
It is a starting point.

Each year, graduates leave third level institutions with strong academic results, yet struggle to secure roles.

Not because they are not capable, but because they:

  • Do not know how to position themselves
  • Do not understand the recruitment process
  • Undervalue their experience
  • Lack clarity on the full range of opportunities available
The Gap

There is a clear gap between education and employment.CareerEd bridges that gap.

    Frequently Asked Questions
    CareerEd is designed for law and non-law graduates pursuing FE1s, Master's students, and anyone exploring legal or related careers in Ireland. If you want a competitive edge in securing a traineeship or legal role, CareerEd is for you.
    No. We support a wide range of legal career paths — barrister, Judicial Assistant, public sector legal roles, in-house compliance, risk, governance, and roles where legal training is a strong transferable advantage.
    CareerEd works with non-law graduates pursuing the FE1s and graduates considering related careers. Many of our packages are designed exactly for this stage — helping you position your background strategically.
    All sessions are 1:1 and delivered online via video call. You receive written feedback and a personalised plan you can refer back to throughout your application process.
    If you are unsure, take our 4-question quiz on the CareerEd page — it recommends a package based on where you are in your journey. The CareerEd Accelerator is our most popular for serious applicants. For a single targeted session, start with the Strategy Session or Mock Interview.
    Yes. If you start with a Strategy Session or Application Essentials and decide you need more depth, we apply the cost of the lower package toward the upgrade. Get in touch and we will work it out.
    CareerEd is delivered directly by a qualified solicitor who is also a qualified career coach with a background in psychology. You work with one professional throughout — no handovers, no junior coaches.
    No — and any career coach who guarantees that is not being honest with you. What we do guarantee is that you walk away with a stronger CV, better applications, and the structure and confidence to compete. Outcomes depend on you.
