Leading Law firm Lewis Silkin to Sponsor the DMS Graduation Ball 2026
Leading law firm Lewis Silkin has announced its sponsorship of the DMS Ireland Graduation Ball 2026, supporting the next generation of people professionals across Northern Ireland and beyond as a Special Award Sponsor.
The sponsorship reflects Lewis Silkin’s continued investment in the Northern Ireland market, where its Belfast office has experienced significant growth over the past four and a half years. The team has developed strong expertise across a broad range of legal services, including corporate, commercial, employment law, immigration and global mobility, intellectual property, media and reputation management, and brand and data protection.
As Northern Ireland enters a transformative period of employment law reform, Lewis Silkin is further strengthening its leadership position in the region. With the proposed “Good Jobs” Employment Rights Bill set to reshape workplace rights and responsibilities, the firm is supporting employers with clear, strategic guidance to navigate an increasingly complex legal environment.
Employment Law Partner Paul Gillen, who leads the firm’s employment law offering in Northern Ireland, commented: “We are delighted to once again sponsor the DMS Ireland Graduation Ball and support the vibrant and growing community of people professionals in Northern Ireland and beyond. Northern Ireland is on the cusp of the most significant shift in employment law we have seen in decades. For employers, this is not simply about legal compliance, it is about adapting to a new workplace reality. Organisations that take proactive steps now will be best placed to manage risk, support their people, and build resilient, future-focused businesses.”
Lewis Silkin works closely with the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD), contributing to the development of resources and thought leadership that help shape the employment law agenda. This collaboration reflects the firm’s commitment to combining deep legal expertise with a progressive, people-centred approach aligned to the needs of today’s workforce.
Lynn Carson, Managing Director of DMS Ireland, welcomed the partnership: “We are delighted to have the support of Lewis Silkin for the 2026 Graduation Ball. Lewis Silkin has a vital and growing presence in Northern Ireland, as well as across Ireland, the UK and Hong Kong. Our clients benefit greatly from the firm’s expertise, insight and forward-thinking approach.”
