About

Training and practicing successfully for many years with Arthur Cox, where she reached the level of senior associate, Orla Ormsby decided to move to in-house work because she wanted to balance legal protection and risk with the needs of the business as part of a collaborative effort. Joining pensions consultancy company Invesco Ireland in August 2015, Ormsby has seen a steady expansion of her role since then, and she now has a much broader set of responsibilities compared to when she started. She has earned this extra responsibility by improving the legal function significantly during her tenure. This was highly important, as the area the company works in is in an ever-increasing state of legislative and regulatory complexity, and as such Invesco is always looking to head off any potential reforms or regulatory challenges that may exist in the future. Overall, Ormsby believes the transition from private practice to legal work is a big challenge, but one that is worth it for anyone looking for a rewarding working life.
