This is among the best employment law senior associate roles on the Irish market right now.

We are working with one of the world's leading law firms on a senior hire into their Dublin employment law team. The practice is genuinely elite: a heavy-hitting group that handles only the most complex, premium work across contentious and non-contentious employment. At this level, you will be a key pillar of the team — technically exceptional, and a point of reference for colleagues across the firm.

What the role offers:

  • Premium complex mandates — multi-jurisdictional, high-stakes, technically demanding
  • A supervisory role within the team, mentoring and developing junior associates
  • Genuine, structured progression — this is a firm that promotes from within and rewards performance
  • International relationship building, both within the wider firm network and with a growing client base
  • A platform where your work will carry real weight with colleagues and clients alike
  • Very strong financial reward — this firm is at the top of the market on compensation
  • A team culture that is supportive, collegiate, and dynamic

What we are looking for:

  • c.5–7 PQE in employment law (though exceptional candidates at other levels will be considered)
  • Technically outstanding with a track record of handling complex, senior-level work
  • Experience supervising or mentoring junior lawyers
  • Strong relationship builder — internally and externally
  • Commercial instinct and the ability to contribute to business development
  • Someone who is ambitious and wants to grow with a world-class firm
