I am assisting one Dublin's leading investment funds practices a team I'd genuinely put at the top of the market right now - with the recruitment of a mid-level associate (ideally 3-5 years PQE).

The team is exceptional.
Five partners in the Irish funds team, with a strong private assets side led by two well-regarded partners.
You'd be working across all three getting real client exposure early, not just being siloed on one stream.
The team combines top-tier technical work with one of the strongest compensation structures in the Irish market.
