A survey by the Dublin Solicitors Bar Association reports that 40% of new and low-level solicitors in the city have taken pay cuts averaging 15%; and 40% of incoming new solicitors have been laid off or lost their job offer.

Furthermore, 40% (there’s that number again) are working without a contract; and 30% are considering changing careers.

The study questioned solicitors with less than five years experience.

Established in 1938, the Dublin Solicitors Bar Association is the largest bar association in Ireland.
