A&L Goodbody LLP (ALG) has officially opened its newly redeveloped headquarters at 25 North Wall Quay, Dublin 1.

The opening of the law firm's expanded office was attended by Taoiseach Micheál Martin, who addressed nearly 600 staff from ALG’s Dublin branch.

Spanning 155,000 sq. ft., the building was redeveloped in partnership with property owner IPUT Real Estate.

The office redevelopment project, which began in 2022, includes two additional floors, landscaped terraces, a new atrium and a purpose-built client suite.

The redesign was done with an emphasis on renewable energy and low-carbon materials.

Despite the building growing significantly in size, it is expected to use 67% less energy than it did before.

It has retained the majority (75%) of its original structure, resulting in substantial savings (56%) in carbon footprint and waste.

Taoiseach Martin said: “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.   

“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.” 

David Widger, Managing Partner at ALG said: “This new headquarters reflects our confidence in, and ambition for, our business and for our clients. 

"It is our building for the future, while staying rooted in the place we call 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.

“Working with IPUT, we've created a building that meets the highest standards and reflects the values of our clients and our business — forward-looking, responsible and globally connected.”
