A&L Goodbody LLP’s reputation precedes itself, providing comprehensive coverage across both contentious and non-contentious employment law issues, demonstrating deep expertise in interlocutory relief, the structuring of employment contracts, whistleblowing, and redundancy. The firm is well versed in representing clients before the high court and has also carved out a niche in industrial relations matters, which ‘exceptionally commercial’ practice head Michael Doyle, who was promoted in July 2024, is proficient in. Duncan Inverarity distinguishes himself as an expert in crisis management, while Noeleen Meehan is strong in assisting financial services clients with the Central Bank of Ireland’s new Individual Accountability Framework. Brid NicSuibhne and Tríona Sugrue also regularly support on matters. Jeff Greene joined the firm as partner in February 2025.
