As of Monday, the firm’s Dublin office will be based in 8,600 sq. ft. space at 5 Earlsfort Terrace, a landmark Grade A office development overlooking the iconic National Concert Hall in the centre of Dublin’s business and cultural district.

The funds-focused Dublin office, led since January by managing partner Carol Widger, opened in 2010, making Dechert the first of the major US firms which have recently expanded into the Irish capital.

Ms Widger said: “Dechert is committed to the Dublin market and our investment in new office space reflects the significant increase in client demand we’ve experienced over the last few years and is also a clear indication of our planned future growth to continue to meet the needs of our clients who value the global footprint of an international service offering.

“We intend to continue developing our expertise and capability in this important market, enhancing our local Irish expertise and our deep industry knowledge on a global scale.”
