This month marks 15 years since we launched our Ireland office - now a key hub for legal and professional services across financial markets.

What began in 2010 with five people has grown into a team of nearly 200 in Ireland, advising financial services clients across legal and professional services.   
 
Our work on high-profile, market-shaping deals has earned us 32 practice area rankings and 40 individual recognitions across five major legal directories.   

A message from our Ireland managing partner 

‘Our success over the past 15 years is built on the trust our clients place in us,’ said Jonathan Sheehan. ‘We’re grateful for their partnership and remain committed to delivering the highest standard of legal and professional services.’ 
 
‘This milestone belongs to every member of our team - past and present - whose passion and professionalism have shaped our culture. I’m proud of what we’ve built together and privileged to lead the team in this special year.’ 

Growing talent and supporting community

We're committed to nurturing and developing local talent in Ireland through initiatives such as our legal analyst and trainee solicitor programmes, helping develop the next generation of high-performing professionals. 
 
We're also dedicated to supporting our local community through meaningful partnerships across the arts and charitable sectors. 

A word from IDA Ireland 

‘Congratulations to Walkers on 15 years of excellence in Ireland. Their growth and success are a testament to the depth of talent and the robust platform Ireland offers to professional services firms operating in global markets’ said Michael Lohan, CEO of IDA Ireland. 

What’s next? 

As we mark this milestone, we’re focused on helping clients make deals happen, move markets and grow their businesses - with responsive service, clear commercial advice and jurisdiction-relevant solutions. 
 
This anniversary follows Walkers’ 60th anniversary last year, commemorating six decades since Bill Walker founded W.S. Walker & Co. in Grand Cayman - a legacy that continues to inspire our global journey.
