Barden are partnering with a boutique Dublin law firm currently hiring a Solicitor to join the team.

This is a varied role but with an emphasis on healthcare-related litigation, court work and capacity matters, alongside exposure to a broader range of work across the firm’s client base.

The successful individual will work closely with the Partners and wider team, with regular appearances in the High Court and Circuit Court, as well as some District Court work. There will also be opportunities to get involved in matters including public and regulatory law, commercial disputes, corporate work, property transactions, employment law and other advisory matters.

THE PERSON

The firm is open-minded on background and is not looking for one particular type of legal experience. You might come from a litigation, healthcare, public law or general practice background, for example. What’s most important is that you:

• Are a qualified Solicitor in Ireland, ideally with around 3+ years’ PQE (with some flexibility either way);

• Enjoy court work and are enthusiastic about developing your advocacy experience;

• Are highly organised, proactive and able to manage a busy caseload;

• Can work with a good degree of autonomy while knowing when to seek guidance;

• Have strong communication, drafting and time-management skills;

• Are keen to learn and take on responsibility;

• Are looking to build a long-term career within a close-knit, specialist firm.

This could suit someone who enjoys the variety and hands-on responsibility of a smaller practice, and who wants significant exposure to Partners, clients and the courts rather than a narrowly defined practice area.
