Law firm A&L Goodbody has officially opened its newly redeveloped headquarters at 25 North Wall Quay, Dublin 1.
Spanning 155,000 sq. ft., the building was redeveloped in partnership with property owner IPUT Real Estate, with an emphasis on renewable energy and low carbon materials.
The office redevelopment project which began in 2022 includes two additional floors, landscaped terraces, a new atrium and a purpose-built client suite.
“This new headquarters reflects our confidence in, and ambition for, our business and for our clients,” said David Widger, Managing Partner at ALG.
“It is our building for the future, while staying rooted in the place we called home for over two decades.
“Since first moving to North Wall Quay in 1999, our firm has expanded significantly.
“The new building supports a state of the art, modern, working environment for those who work at ALG and the clients we support,” he added.
Whilst the office building has grown significantly in size, the company said it is expected to use 67% less energy than it did before.
This is due to low-carbon building operations, with an all-electric heat pump strategy, high-performance façade and smart technology in place to help the new headquarters operate as efficiently as possible.
The opening was attended by Taoiseach Micheál Martin who addressed nearly 600 from ALG’s Dublin office.
“The opening of A&L Goodbody’s new office headquarters is a really exciting development – exciting for ALG, for Dublin’s business district and the wider Irish economy,” Taoiseach Micheál Martin said.
“As a leading Irish law firm, ALG has made a significant contribution to supporting growth in our economy and international investment. This landmark building provides a best-in-class sustainable HQ for a new era,” he added.
ALG currently employs more than 1,000 people across its offices, including 346 lawyers and 120 partners.
The firm advises across the island of Ireland through its offices in Dublin and Belfast, and overseas through its offices in London, New York, and San Francisco.
