Guide only — this matter needs a solicitor. Under Irish law this work must be carried out by a solicitor, so it is not sold on this site. The information below explains what is involved so you can brief a solicitor with confidence.
OnlineLegalServices.ie is operated by Plus Promotions Limited, which is not a solicitor’s practice and does not give legal advice. To instruct a regulated practice, use the Law Society of Ireland’s Find a Solicitor directory.
A 60-minute legal consultation by video call in Ireland gives your solicitor time to review your documents and advise properly on a complex matter. Work of this kind is carried out by a solicitor regulated by the Law Society of Ireland. We are not a solicitor’s practice and do not provide it — to instruct a solicitor, use the Law Society of Ireland’s Find a Solicitor directory. If, after the consultation, you decide to proceed with any of solicitors’ services, your consultation fee is. If appropriate, the allotted time will instead be given to answering your questions by email.
Clients typically ask about employment disputes, such as unfair dismissal, redundancy and workplace investigations; property transactions and landlord and tenant issues; business structure, shareholder agreements and company compliance; family matters such as separation, Wills and guardianship; debt recovery, cease and desist letters and reputation protection; GDPR compliance and data subject complaints; and cross-border issues involving the US, UK or EU.
