Managing Partner of Matheson, Michael Jackson, said: “I am delighted to announce the appointment of eight new partners to the firm, and congratulate them on their achievement.
"The range of sectors encompassed by these appointments reflects both the breadth of technical and legal knowledge in Matheson, and the broad sectoral composition of our client base.
"It also reflects our ability, as a full service commercial law firm, to support indigenous and global clients with an international focus.
“As we announce our eight new partner appointments at the firm, I am also pleased that 41% of the partnership at Matheson is female, and that 50% of our partner appointments over the last 3 years have been female.”
Matherson serves the Irish legal needs of internationally focused companies and financial institutions doing business in and from Ireland.
