About

I advise multinational and UK employers on all aspects of UK and Irish employment law. My clients are mainly from the technology, healthcare and financial and professional services sectors.

I helped establish our Dublin office in 2018 and I work closely with colleagues in Dublin and Belfast to provide clients with employment law support across the whole of the UK and the island of Ireland.

My practice is often international in its scope, and I regularly advise on the employment law aspects of global acquisitions and multi-jurisdictional restructures. My international retainers enable clients to access expert employment law advice in all of the countries in which they operate.

I have also been recognised for many years as a leader in the field of employment law by the main legal directories.

Testimonials

"Sean Dempsey brings a welcome dose of common sense and gets to the nub of the issue quickly and I find this is common across the network. We have used the UK rockhopper service for smaller cases along with the Ius Laboris network and every adviser has engaged with us very well and has been responsive and their advice has been sensible. They appreciate the fast high pressure environment of a growing international business."
