Solicitors in Dublin

The legal system in the Republic of Ireland is based on common law principles and up until around 1920 had the same legal system as England and Wales. In the following decades Ireland separated itself more and more from the Crown and Commonwealth with amendments to its constitution. As a result of the basis of the law in Ireland being the same as in England, many of the principles remain the same; despite this, if your case is in the Republic of Ireland, you should instruct solicitors that practise in this jurisdiction.

In Dublin, solicitors are numerous with the greater area of Dublin having a population of over 1.5 million. Much of Dublin’s economy was formerly based on brewing, with the Guinness brewery at St James’ Gate. However the city has since become an important centre for commerce and finance and the number of solicitors in Dublin who specialise in business and finance reflects this. In Dublin, solicitors’ firms can be found both north and south of the Liffey, the northern area being more traditionally working class and the southern side being more traditionally middle and upper class.

The Four Courts is where most solicitors in Dublin will go when they attend court. The Four Courts houses the Supreme Court, the High Court, the Central Criminal Court and Dublin Circuit Court, though these were not the four courts that the building was named after.

Solicitors in Dublin will provide the best representation if you are involved in a legal case, however, if you do not wish to instruct a solicitor the Citizens Advice Centre may be able to offer some advice. This is located at 85/86 Patrick Street, Dun Laoghaire, Co. Dublin, Ireland.
