Lewis Silkin Ireland LLP

Employment

I advise and support employers on how to navigate all aspects of Irish employment law from agency workers to zero hours contracts and everything in between. Having worked in Lewis Silkin's London office for 5 years, I have good experience working across jurisdictions, although I now focus exclusively on Irish employment law from our Dublin office.

I have over 10 years' experience in employment law and focus on clients' strategic objectives to achieve commercial and pragmatic solutions. I advise multinational and Irish employers across a broad range of sectors, but with a particular focus on technology, life sciences and retail.

Catherine is a Managing Associate in the Employment team based in the Dublin office.

Catherine advises on the full spectrum of employment law issues. A typical week for Catherine might include reviewing employment contracts and policies, advising on employee entitlements, disciplinary and grievance issues, handling severance negotiations, preparing for a WRC hearing, delivering client training and advising on issues arising out of corporate mergers and re-organisations.

Catherine is a member of the Technology industry sector focus group and advises a number of international technology clients based in Ireland, the UK and overseas.

Catherine holds a Diploma in Employment Law and a Certificate in Data Protection Law from the Law Society of Ireland. She is both Irish and England and Wales qualified and was based in the London office for 5 years.
