The launch of ICDR Ireland is a very welcome development, both for Dublin and for the broader international arbitration market. It reflects the growing recognition of Ireland as an important venue for resolving cross-border disputes and builds on a number of strong initiatives that have helped raise Dublin’s profile in this area in recent years, boosted by the great work of Arbitration Ireland. We have seen increasing interest from clients who are recognising Dublin as a place to do arbitration in its own right. As a firm, our Dublin office is a core part of our offering, and together with our established international arbitration practice and a broad cross-border footprint, we will be following this development closely and reflect its development in the way we support clients across jurisdictions
