Multi-jurisdictional work for US and international clients in the pharmaceutical, technology, and financial services industries makes up the bulk of Matheson LLP‘s employment law practice. The firm has expertise in redundancies, unfair dismissals, disciplinary investigations, whistleblowing complaints, and union disputes. ’Superstar’ practice head Bryan Dunne routinely represents clients before Irish courts and, alongside Geraldine Carr, advises on employment aspects of cross-border acquisitions. Russell Rochford‘s key areas of expertise are reorganisations, outsourcing, and high-profile M&A transactions. Ailbhe Dennehy specialises in disciplinary processes, terminations, whistleblowing, and the negotiation and drafting of employment contracts and policies. Recognised for global workforce expansion projects, Alice Duffy rejoined the team at partner level from DLA Piper in July 2024.
