Eversheds Sutherland brought on two new senior-level lawyers for its Ireland operation, which became part of the main international business a few months back. Robert Dever left his role running tax at Pinsent Masons in Dublin to rejoin Eversheds as a partner, and Mary Gavin moved over from Ogier to take on an employment law partnership.
The Irish integration happened after merger discussions with William Fry fell apart earlier in the year. The new setup has about 170 people working between Dublin and Belfast, but only 26 partners made the jump compared to roughly 46 before. Some of the partners who didn't come along ended up at other Irish firms like Philip Lee and Mason Hayes & Curran.
William Fry grabbed four corporate partners and their teams from the old Eversheds Ireland practice right before everything got finalized. The revamped Irish office plans to focus on financial services, tech, life sciences, energy, and industrial clients going forward.
