“The Bar of Northern Ireland was delighted to attend the International Bar Association Conference in Washington last week.

Northern Ireland is already established on the global legal landscape given our capacity to supply high quality services in a manner attractive to international clients. There are therefore tremendous opportunities for our members to expand their practices outside of Northern Ireland. Our reception at last week’s conference confirmed this.

With the support of the First Minister Arlene Foster MLA and Invest Northern Ireland, who have demonstrated a keen commitment to growing the legal sector, we are exploring new market opportunities and the services we can provide to international businesses who operate within the UK and Ireland.”

David Mulholland, Chief Executive, The Bar of Northern Ireland
