    Hi,wondering if anyone can help.My girlfriend is a law graduate in Germany but the final part of her qualification is to complete a 3 month clerkship in another European country. We are thinking of moving to Ireland but are looking for companies who may take on such an employee. The firm must have a german speaking lawyer in order to evaluate her,and the wage is paid by the German government. She is natrually fluent in English.
    Not sure if anyone has heard of something like this or if anyone can help.

    Cheers

    I am nearly sure you'll struggle without getting a role from Germany.

    Deutsche Bank has operations here as do some other companies - Bayer Pharma, etc.

    I can't see how she'd be remunerated via Germany, to be frank!

    Contact Griffith College Dublin Law School via the website they might be able to give you some pointers they have a fair few German students passing though.

    I knew a German girl who did a summer internship just for the experience. I don't know if that would qualify as a clerkship and maybe it would be too short. Maybe contact some HR departments and see if they have any roles that would match her criteria.

    Also, why does there have to be a German speaking lawyer to evaluate her? I presume she will work through English. Isn't it normally acceptable to have a reference professionally translated if the referee doesn't speak the relevant language? I don't have too much experience of this one though.
