Ireland

Ogier's team in Ireland came to market as a result of a merger with Dublin-based commercial law firm Leman Solicitors LLP in March 2022, resulting in a combined firm offering legal services to the Irish market including corporate, real estate, dispute resolution and employment, and an international network providing banking, corporate and funds services.

Ogier's nearly 90-strong team, led by 14 partners, continues to develop its offering in Ireland with a growth plan that deepens the firm's thriving domestic capabilities and diversifies and extends its services to meet international and domestic client demand.

The original firm, Leman Solicitors, was established in 2007 with particular strengths in corporate, real estate, employment, financial services, dispute resolution and restructuring for Irish based clients. John Hogan, one of the founding partners, is among Ogier in Ireland's senior team. In 2024, and for the seventh year running, the firm was named as a Great Place to Work Ireland in the Best Small Workplace category. 

Why Ireland?

Ireland has been named as the “best country for business” by a number of ranking publications over the years as well as Forbes. Ireland has long been a destination of choice for many foreign companies and this is due to a number of key factors, namely:

• Our membership of the EU and the Euro

• A pro-business environment and supportive regime for startups

• A young, English speaking and well-educated workforce

• Post-Brexit, Ireland is the only English speaking country in the EU

• A common law jurisdiction with a strong legal system

• A favourable low taxation system with a corporate tax rate of 15%

• An extensive double taxation treaty arrangement

Our solicitors advise international clients on all aspects of establishing in Ireland.
