About the Firm

I am collaborating with a prominent international law practice with a strong and expanding footprint in Ireland. With their ambitious growth plans, they are seeking a talented Construction Solicitor to join their highly regarded Dublin team.

This role is ideally suited to a motivated and commercially astute solicitor who thrives on ownership and collaboration. Primarily focused on non‑contentious construction work, with opportunities to support contentious matters as they arise, you will gain exposure to sophisticated drafting and strategic project advice.
