The Republic of Ireland’s Law Society has revealed a record number of UK lawyers are applying to work in Ireland. Lawyers from companies including Freshfields, Slaughter and May, Allen & Overy and Hogan Lovells have been part of a surge which has been put down to lawyers not being able to have the right to follow their client’s case all the way to the European courts if Britain is not part of the EU. Ken Murphy, director general of the Law Society of Ireland, said: “This is by far the largest number of transfers of solicitors to Ireland from the UK in any given year, and we’re only halfway through.” The figure show 186 British lawyers have been admitted to practice in Ireland in the first six months of 2016, more than three times that of the same time last year.
