Request a Consultation Online in Ireland

Requesting a consultation online in Ireland lets you speak to a qualified Irish solicitor by secure video call. 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. You can discuss any area of Irish law, including family law, property, employment, business, Wills, probate and personal injury; if your issue is outside what can be dealt with in a consultation, a solicitor would tell you and explain your options. 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. A consultation is not a substitute for full legal representation in contested or high-value matters; for complex disputes, contact us for a tailored quote.

To get the most from your consultation, gather the key documents before the call, such as letters, contracts, notices or folios, and note the important dates and the questions you most want answered. Sharing these through the intake form lets a solicitor focus on your situation rather than background, so you finish the call with clear next steps.

Is online legal advice as good as in-person advice?

Online consultations by secure video call provide the same quality of legal advice as an in-person meeting, from regulated solicitors.

You receive confirmation of your appointment and a link to join the call.
