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.

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
