Lewis Silkin appoints three at Dublin office
Lewis Silkin has made three new appointments to its Irish employment-law practice.
Sarah Lawn and Sinead Likely join the firm as senior associates, alongside Jacqueline Ho, who has been appointed managing knowledge lawyer.
Growing market
All three appointments are based in the firm’s Dublin office and will support Lewis Silkin’s ability to serve a growing client demand for employment-law advice in the Irish market.
Sarah Lawn will help domestic and multinational clients navigate complex and evolving employment=law regulation, supporting on employment, industrial relations, and health-and-safety matters.
Lawn has significant experience representing clients before the Workplace Relations Commission and the Labour Court, and is a member of the Employment Law Association of Ireland (ELAI) and the Employment Lawyers’ Association (ELA).
She has also lectured for the Law Society of Ireland’s Employment Law Diploma for over 10 years.
Sinead Likely previously worked at the firm as a senior knowledge lawyer. In her new role, she will advise clients on all aspects of the employment relationship, from recruitment to termination – including contracts and policies, performance management, grievance, disciplinary and redundancy processes, and data protection and protected disclosures.
She has also represented clients before the Workplace Relations Commission, the Labour Court, and the civil courts in a wide range of employment-related claims.
Jacqueline Ho joins as managing knowledge lawyer, bringing in-house expertise from her previous role as employment counsel at Eir.
Since opening in Dublin in 2018 with a team of three (including one partner), the firm has significantly expanded its presence across the island of Ireland, with over 100 colleagues now based across its Dublin and Belfast offices.
The firm also advises clients on legal matters related to immigration, trade marks, and data.
