Update on the In-House Legal Sector in Dublin
November 8, 2019
The In-House Legal sector in Dublin continues to grow with an increase in the number of roles and opportunities across most industries, from SMEs deciding to set up a legal function for the first time to large multinationals expanding their existing teams.
In-house positions have become increasingly specialised with each role demanding a particular focus. Technology, IP, Commercial Contracts and Data Protection/Privacy are some highlights of the key growth areas. Within financial services, Funds, Compliance and Regulation experience are still in demand. For any of these niche areas, there is a skills shortage which leads to higher salaries being offered.
Despite the buoyant market, it is highly competitive and industry familiarity has become a key requirement for many in-house roles.
Another observation is that there are increasing opportunities for newly qualified or recently qualified lawyers to enter in-house within specialised areas and with a particular industry focus.
