Irish law firm ByrneWallace LLP has announced plans to recruit 100 new staff members over the next two years.
The announcement comes as the firm has said it is experiencing an increasing demand in services.
The firm currently employs more than 300 people, including over 180 lawyers and other professionals.
Many of the new roles the company are hiring for will cover areas such as information and data management, cybercrime, tax, and infrastructural development.
Managing partner of the firm, Feargal Brennan, said that the fmedium-term plan would see ByrneWallace double in size in the next five years.
“I expect our current headcount to increase to over 600 in the next five years,” Mr Brennan said.
“Given the depth of our service lines we believe we are well positioned across the markets we serve, and the macro-economic position is likely to remain broadly supportive.
“We’re very positive about the future.”
Despite the plans to grow, the firm has recently agreed terms to remain in its current offices on Harcourt Street, Dublin.
“The opportunity to stay or go came at an interesting time,” Mr Brennan explained.
“With digitization and new hybrid working arrangements, law firms now need less office space than before so our plans for growth can be accommodated within the 50,000 square feet we now occupy on Harcourt Street.
“Given local city centre amenities we believe it still makes sense for us to maintain a substantial city centre office location and this location will continue to be an asset when it comes to recruiting new staff and serving our clients.”
