Pinsent Masons reportedly searching for 10,000sq ft office space in Dublin

According to the legal publication, Pinsent Masons instructed a commercial property agent in Dublin earlier this week to find a suitable space in the city.

It follows reports last week that the firm was considering a new base in Dublin as part of a review of its Irish operations following the United Kingdom’s decision to leave the European Union.

However, a spokesperson for the firm declined to confirm the accuracy of The Lawyer’s report when approached by Irish Legal News.

A spokesperson told ILN: “We have a market-leading Northern Ireland presence which naturally lends itself to elements of cross-border work and a number of important relationships in RoI.

“It is true that Dublin is an important legal market and will continue to be so, and that we never rule out any proposition that could materially enhance our ability to service clients in the global sectors in which we operate.”
