      Legal & Company Secretary

      Increasingly complex international and domestic legal systems have made legal officers a critical part of business growth.

      As regulation intensifies across nearly every industry and technology continues to evolve faster than the law, Company Secretaries must defend their company from competitors and regulators, whilst leveraging the law to the full advantage of the business.

      Business growth is increasingly tied to technological advances, mergers and acquisitions, and international expansion. To facilitate growth and defend their business in an increasingly litigious environment, senior legal leaders have been moved out of the backroom to become strategic advisors to the CEO and board.

      Ireland

      The Odgers Berndtson Legal Practice operates across the world, working closely with a broad range of public, private and not-for-profit organisations to identify and develop legal leaders.

      Using our national and international network and knowledge of the Irish market, we support organisations in securing highly qualified, senior legal professionals, with the skill and expertise necessary to tackle the increasing volume and complexity of domestic law and regulation.
