The firm has already provided funding for 10 of its lawyers to join the roll, though only a handful have been admitted so far.

The move has been sparked by concerns that British lawyers will find it difficult to continue practising EU law after the UK’s exit from the EU.

Other firms have made similar moves, with Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer reportedly applying to have 104 lawyers registered in Dublin and around 100 more from Eversheds.

By the start of September, the total number of solicitors from England and Wales seeking to register with the Law Society of Ireland since the EU referendum had reached 568.

The process by which foreign qualified lawyers may apply to go on the Roll of Solicitors in Ireland is outlined on the Law Society of Ireland’s website.
