Matheson’s London growth boosted by hire of ex-Kirkland PE star Rory Mullarkey

Matheson’s top brass in Dublin view London as a key driver for future business.

“We’ve grown our London office significantly over recent years,” says the firm’s managing partner, Michael Jackson. In 2020/21, Matheson leapfrogged the two firms that had historically been ahead of it, A&L Goodbody and Arthur Cox, to become the largest law firm in Ireland, as measured by the Irish Law Society. Since then, London office growth has been high on the Matheson agenda. The firm’s move to the Octagon Point building in October 2022 provided 50% more square footage than its previous office in Love Lane. Much of that extra space has already been used to good effect.
