About Us

Arthur Cox is a leading Irish law firm. For almost 90 years, we have been at the forefront of developments in the legal profession in Ireland.  From the outset, we have striven to deliver superior levels of service, building relationships that grow over time and developing specialist industry knowledge to help our clients achieve their goals.

Our Practice

With over 350 legal staff and a total headcount of approximately 550, we provide a comprehensive service to an international client base ranging from multinational organisations, banks and financial institutions and established global leaders to government agencies and new players in emerging industry sectors. Our reputation is based on proven professional skills, a thorough understanding of client requirements, sound judgment and a practical approach to resolving commercial problems.

Our Approach

At Arthur Cox, our aim is to provide each client with advice that adds value to its business. Our approach demands the highest levels of knowledge, technical skill and service delivery allowing us to provide accurate, reliable, timely and cost-effective advice across a range of industry groups and sectors. A strong teamwork ethic and practical "can do" approach to solving problems ensures a seamless, effective service.

We identify ourselves with our clients' requirements and work with our clients to help them achieve their goals. In operating a policy of direct partner involvement in client matters and a system of regular review we ensure that all clients are provided with a top class service and that all matters are handled in an efficient and cost effective manner. Effective communication is key to our client relationships, helping us focus on our clients' aims and concerns. By developing real understanding of each client’s business and building a strong working relationship with them, we can play an effective role in shaping their strategic and financial plans. Our lawyers handle a wide range of work so that clients benefit not only from depth of legal knowledge and expertise but also from commercial experience.

We appreciate that our clients operate in a constantly developing commercial environment. They require legal advisers that can help them meet new challenges. We invest in developing specialist industry knowledge in our people, so that they can combine legal skill with genuine understanding of the individual markets in which our clients operate. In this way, we provide real support for our clients in achieving their goals. Our commitment to our clients goes further than simply responding to today's issues. We take a pro-active approach in helping them prepare to meet what lies ahead - both the challenges and the opportunities.
