Dentons appoints Dublin employment partner

Global law firm Dentons has appointed employment lawyer Susan Doris-Obando as a partner in its Dublin office.

She joined the firm’s PRM (people, reward, and mobility) team today (19 February) from Matheson, where she was a senior associate.

Doris-Obando (small picture) had previously worked in Dentons’ London office as counsel for two years, having spent 11 years at Freshfields in London.

Before that, she had been an independent employment barrister in London for eight years.

Accredited mediator

Dentons said that the new partner had “an impressive track record of excellence” in all areas of employment law.

She is a CEDR-accredited mediator, and is also a former committee member of the Employment Law Association of Ireland and the Law Society Employment Committee.

Eavan Saunders (managing partner, Dentons Dublin) said: “Susan’s appointment underscores our commitment to investing in premium talent and reinforces our position as a leader in the Irish legal landscape.”
