Fragomen is excited to announce the opening of its new office in Ireland, based in Dublin's city centre.

Our Dublin office is led by Bill Foster, a Fragomen partner previously based in London who has relocated to Dublin. He will be joined by a team of Irish immigration specialists and supported by Pauline Mathewson, Fragomen's EMEA managing partner.

The Irish deputy prime minister, An Tánaiste and Minister for Business, Enterprise and Innovation Frances Fitzgerald TD said, "I'm delighted to welcome a company of Fragomen's calibre to Ireland. Known globally for its expertise in providing immigration services to companies, Fragomen's establishment here will assist FDI companies who are either relocating existing staff from abroad or sourcing new staff, in circumstances where immigration requirements apply. Just recently Ireland was named as the best country in the world for attracting high-value FDI for the sixth year in a row. These high tech companies sometimes need to bring in specialist expertise from abroad for their Irish operations and the services to be provided by Fragomen will make that process easier and more streamlined for their clients."

Bill Foster commented, "The new office opening is driven by the need to service our clients' rapid growth in Ireland. We can best serve their needs from an office on the ground in Dublin. We have seen a significant increase in client confidence across Ireland and anticipate this will continue as the deadline for Britain leaving the EU draws closer."

The firm invested significant resources into the launch of the Dublin office, taking city centre office space and recruiting a specialist team of immigration professionals at all levels. The team will expand to include 20 specialists within the next six months.

Pauline Mathewson commented, "We are delighted to now have an office in Dublin, a thriving market of diverse companies. From Dublin, we can meet the growing demands of our Ireland-based clients and leading international businesses that are increasingly deciding to make Ireland their European home."

Our permanent address and contact details are:

Fragomen Ireland Limited 
Ground Floor 
Central Quay, Riverside 
IV Sir John Rogerson’s Quay 
Dublin 2 

Tel: +353 (0)1 7650 700 
Email: [email protected]

If you have any questions regarding our new office in Dublin and services offered, please speak to your Fragomen contact who will put you in touch with the appropriate local Fragomen professional.

Fragomen's Dublin office opening was earlier announced by IDA Ireland, the agency responsible for the attraction and development of foreign direct investment (FDI) in Ireland. You can read that announcement here.
