The promotions are also indicative of client demand in Dublin which continues to grow since our inception.

“Having made up four internal partner candidates in the last 12 months not only speaks to the success of the business but is a real differentiator from all the other international firms in Dublin. Dentons Dublin is a firm where our first-class associate cohort can develop their skills and practices and reach their considerable potential.

“I would like to extend my sincere congratulations to Tom, Gemma and Donal on their respective promotions to partner. I look forward to seeing their careers continue to progress and prosper.”
