About

Having been present in Ireland for over 160 years, Dutch lager brewer HEINEKEN is today one of Ireland’s leading beer and cider companies. The highly-skilled legal function of the company has been led by head of legal Orla Joyce since 2014 and is consulted on key business developments by senior management. To this end, Joyce’s legal team is involved in legal matters related to the production, employment, sales and the corporate sponsorships and brand representation of HEINEKEN in Ireland. For example, in 2018, HEINEKEN Ireland launched two new products, namely, Heineken 0.0%, its first non-alcoholic beer, as well as Appleman’s cider to its Irish customers. Going forward, the team are considered to be expertly placed to help the domestic branch achieve its ethical and sustainability goals whilst also handling GDPR compliance issues.
