The role of a Firm Administrator

The Law Society of Ireland website provides a facility for a firm’s principal, partner or nominated staff member(s) to access the Firm Administration section of the Law Society website in order to perform specific functions on behalf of their firm.

Principal/partners automatically have access to the Firm Administration section for the firm they are resident in.

For Industry/State bodies, the solicitor identified as Managing Partner or solicitor-in-charge is deemed to be the Firm Administrator.

The principal/managing partner in the firm must send a request in writing to nominate other solicitors as Firm Admin.

Non-solicitors must have a Law Society website login account (register here) and the principal/managing partner in the firm must send a request in writing to nominate them.

This guide will explain how to nominate/change a Firm Admin and take you through the functions available on the Firm Administration section.
