There has been a negligible increase in the salaries for lawyers in Ireland that’s up next on our list of highest paying countries for lawyers. This is because the market had already recovered significantly and most increases were incorporated in 2014. Further, while basic salaries have not increased by much, sign-on bonuses have improved as demand for lawyers is on the rise. The remunerations are further expected to increase as the conditions seem beneficial for lawyers at the moment.
