THE
INCORPORATED
LAW
SOCIETY
OF
IRELAND
DIRECTOR
GENERAL
The Society is the professional body for solicitors in
Ireland, responsible for the training and education of
solicitors, the maintenance of professional
standards and the provision of services for its
members. On completion of the current Director
General's term of office in the Autumn, a successor
is to be appointed.
The person selected will work closely with the
President and Council of the Society maintaining
close contact with the Profession, with Government
departments and other organisations. The Director
General will be responsible for ensuring that
appropriate strategies and policies are developed
and efficiently implemented. The role will, therefore,
require a great deal of managerial talent in directing
and motivating senior executives and staff.
The individual we are seeking may/may not be a
member of the legal profession, but should have a
wide range of personal contacts in legal, business
and Government circles. The challenges posed by
the position require that he/she have the intellectual
and communication abilities to present complex
issues clearly. Organisational talent combined with
commercial and financial skills are also necessary
attributes. While age is not a major factor, it is
unlikely that a candidate under 35 will have the
requisite stature.
The salary and other emoluments will reflect fully the
importance and seniority of the position.
If you would like to be considered for
this appointment please send a detailed C.V. to
Mr. Ernest J. Margetson,
President,
The Law Society,
Blackball Place,
Dublin 7.
