‘We have a truly differentiated offering’

ALAN MURPHY

Head of Law EY Law Ireland

ACTIVITY EY Law delivered another year of accelerated growth in our most recent financial year to end June 2023, a performance that further underscores our position as one of Ireland’s fastest growing law firms with a truly differentiated offering. This reflected significant growth across all of our service lines – Corporate M&A, Re-organisations and Structuring, Tax Strategy and Disputes, Commercial Real Estate, Employment, Tech and Commercial, and Private Client.

This has been driven by strategic investments in each service line - hiring the best people; utilising our technology for the benefit of the clients; relentlessly focusing on quality and service excellence; and being in a position, working with other EY businesses, to bring an end-to-end global offering to our clients both locally and internationally.

AI One of the key strategy pillars when EY Law was established was to recruit a leading tech and commercial team. We are lucky to have Peter Bolger and Rob Haniver leading a team of experts in all things AI. They work with other EY businesses to help clients identify how to capture the transformative power of AI across every aspect of their operations. The wider EY business has globally invested €1.3bn in AI to ensure that EY and EY Law have the latest cutting-edge technologies, talent and thinking at our disposal to support our clients on their AI journeys.

OUTLOOK Ireland’s economy continues to be remarkably robust. In the face of distinct challenges in recent years, including Brexit and Covid, businesses have demonstrated time and time again their resilience, resourcefulness, and underlying strengths. None of this means that we can be complacent. We must continue to adapt, to create and innovate, and to respond to our ever-changing global environment.
