Trade Missions

A core part of Ireland for Law’s work is undertaking Trade Missions, where a delegation of Irish legal practitioners travel to other jurisdictions to promote Ireland as a destination for legal services, network with practitioners and potential customers and to learn from other legal jurisdictions as to how they administer justice.

The next Trade Mission will focus on Delaware, Philadelphia and Washington DC and takes place from 20th May - 22nd May.

The delegation will be led by David Barniville, President of the High Court, Attorney General Rossa Fanning and Kelley Smith SC, The Bar of Ireland.

To register your interest in being part of the delegation or to attend any of the events, see below or email info@irelandforlaw.com more details.
