Ireland legal recruitment

Our established Irish Legal Practice focuses within both Private Practice and In-House. Our Private Practice consultants work in partnership with established Irish law firms; international players; and also new entrants to the market, assisting them with their hiring needs from newly qualified through to partner level hires. Our In-House consultants focus particularly within the Pharmaceutical; Technology; and Financial Services sectors assisting established teams and growing businesses with their Legal Counsel needs. Outside of Dublin, we are regularly mandated on roles in Belfast; Cork; and Galway.
