AN INTERNATIONAL corporate and finance law firm is to create 75 jobs in Dublin over the next three years.

The Maples group currently employs 175 people in Ireland.

The group established an operation in Dublin in 2006 which offers a full-service legal practice and specialised fiduciary, accounting and administration services. Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation Richard Bruton made the new jobs announcement yesterday morning.

Managing partner of Maples and Calder in Dublin Andrew Doyle said the decision to expand its business here would make it better able to serve its clients here.
