Lewis Silkin Ireland has promoted two lawyers in its employment, immigration, and reward division.

Catherine Hayes moves from senior associate to managing associate, and Declan Groarke, who was previously an associate, is moving to the role of senior associate.

Both have extensive experience advising both national and international clients on employment and immigration law, providing guidance to employers on a wide range of issues, both contentious and non-contentious.

Litigation experience

Additionally, both have significant litigation experience in the Workplace Relations Commission (WRC), High Court and Court of Appeal.

Partner and head of office Síobhra Rush said: "We are delighted to promote two of the longest-standing members of our team in Dublin, and see them continue to build their careers with us at Lewis Silkin as integral members of our core team.

"Their work and commitment have been key factors in our continued growth as a leading employment-law practice in Ireland over the past five years."
