Barry Walsh

I have advised on a wide range of Irish and multinational corporate, public and institutional clients on all aspects of Irish employment law from recruitment to retirement including contentious, advisory and transactional work. My clients are spread across a number of industries including technology, media, utilities and professional services. I also advise on industrial relations issues arising from mergers, acquisitions, outsourcing and redundancy situations.

In advising clients, I always seek to communicate the salient issues succinctly and accurately, always offering outcome-focused solutions.
