Our heritage

Ogier's presence in Ireland came to market as a result of a merger with Dublin-based commercial law firm Leman Solicitors LLP in March 2022, resulting in a combined firm offering legal services to the Irish market. The original firm was established in 2007 with particular strengths in corporate, real estate, employment, financial services, dispute resolution and restructuring for Irish based clients. John Hogan, one of the founding partners, is among Ogier in Ireland's senior team. In 2025 for the eighth year running the firm was named as a Great Place to Work Ireland in the Best Mid Size category. 

Traditionally, Leman Solicitors promoted bravery, excellence and humanity as its core company values, today Ogier in Ireland retains these values throughout its service and offerings, as well as its many CSR and charitable activities, including the annual Ogier Challenge event.  

Why Ireland?

Ireland has been named as the “best country for business” by a number of ranking publications over the years as well as Forbes. Ireland has long been a destination of choice for many foreign companies and this is due to a number of key factors, namely:

• our membership of the EU and the Euro

• a pro-business environment and supportive regime for startups

• a young, English speaking and well-educated workforce

• post-Brexit, Ireland is the only English speaking country in the EU

• a common law jurisdiction with a strong legal system

• a favourable low taxation system with a corporate tax rate of 12.5%

• an extensive double taxation treaty arrangement
