Niamh Cassidy

I'm a senior associate in our international HR Services group in Ireland specialising in employment law matters, both domestically and internationally.

I advise on all aspects of the employment relationship, in both contentious and non-contentious matters for a broad range of multinational clients. I deliver thorough, clear and pragmatic legal advice.

I provide strategic support and guidance on a wide range of day-to-day employment matters, including the handling of investigations, disciplinary and grievance matters, performance issues, redundancies, settlement negotiations and the drafting of contractual and policy documentation, as well as cross-border HR issues and projects for international clients.

I regularly provide support on the employment law aspects of corporate transactions, including mergers, acquisitions, outsourcings, and the restructuring of organisations.

On the contentious side, I advise employers on a broad range of employment litigation and claims in the Workplace Relations Commission, the Labour Court, the Civil Courts including injunction proceedings, unfair and constructive dismissal claims, employment equality claims, industrial relations referrals, and penalisation claims.

My experience spans a wide range of industries including technology, manufacturing, pharmaceutical, financial services, automotive, gaming and retail.

I enjoy partnering with clients' key business stakeholders in HR, ER, legal, finance and operations to provide commercial employment law advice on the entire employment relationship.

I regularly speak at seminars and provide bespoke training on employment law topics, including workforce management, AI in the workplace, and recent legislative changes.
