“The ever-increasing demand for effective legal counsel in this post-Covid economy is unequivocal,” said Jeroen Douwes, Executive Director of L&E Global. “As a result, we are continuing to expand and position ourselves to be able to provide legal services to employers in the key areas where they operate, which clearly includes Ireland.  With the addition of LK Shields to the L&E Global alliance, we are now one step closer to realising that goal.”
