Ireland for Law is a Government supported initiative for Ireland's International Legal Services Strategy.

Ireland is the only English-speaking common-law jurisdiction in the European Union. Ireland boasts an experienced and highly specialised legal profession, consisting of approximately 12,000 solicitors and 2,200 barristers. Irish lawyers have been at the heart of the common law world for centuries and now support Ireland’s world-leading enterprise economy. 

With its highly developed legal services sector, it is a jurisdiction of choice for contracts and international dispute resolution.
