Addleshaw Goddard ups office size by almost half

Addleshaw Goddard Ireland will move to a new office at Fitzwilliam No 28 in January 2025.

The international law firm announced earlier this month that revenue at its Dublin office has increased by 45% over the past two years.   

Over the same period, Addleshaw Goddard Ireland has increased headcount by over 20%, with 143 staff currently and a further 10-15% growth in headcount expected in 2024.

The move to Fitzwilliam No 28 will enable the firm to accommodate over 200 people, with a 42% increase on their current office space at Temple Chambers on Burlington Road.

On Dublin’s Georgian mile, Fitzwilliam No 28 is a modern near zero energy building with strong eco credentials.

Entire floor

Addleshaw Goddard Ireland will take over an entire floor along with a portion of a second floor in the 14-year lease signed with SMBC Aviation Capital.

SMBC acquired the lease for the entire footprint of Fitzwilliam No 28 in late 2022.

Growth at the firm has been driven by strong performance in the corporate practice and  tax, financial regulation, energy, and real estate units.

Access to Addleshaw Goddard’s international network has resulted in significant new business referrals, particularly from Britain.

Ireland head Mark Walsh said the move will allow the firm to continue to grow at an ambitious pace.
