We saw a problem that needed solving
Every day across Ireland, businesses need specialist legal support. Law firms face capacity constraints and expertise gaps that force them to turn away work. And experienced solicitors want meaningful projects that match their skills and schedules. Heron connects all three - businesses get access to specialists, firms get capacity and project opportunities, solicitors get quality work.
Built for Irish practices and businesses
We understand how Irish businesses and firms work and respect the relationship-focused nature of quality legal work.
Quality at

Every specialist on our panel - whether law firms or consultants - brings proven experience. Excellence isn't optional.
Complete control for everyone
Practices set requirements and deadlines. Solicitors choose projects and rates. Everyone works on their terms.
Transparent partnership
Simple percentage-based commission. No hidden fees, no recruitment complications, no permanent commitments.
Join us on our journey to reshape the legal landscape for the better.
Together, we're building a future where collaboration is effortless, and excellence is the standard.
Legal expertise where it's needed
We didn't set out to build just another platform. We saw businesses needing specialists, ambitious Irish practices missing opportunities**, and experienced solicitors wanting meaningful work on their terms**. The solution was simple: connect all three intelligently.
Why we're here
Heron exists because legal expertise should flow exactly where it's needed, when it's needed. No business should struggle to find specialists. No one should miss opportunities. Everyone should build the practice they want. We're here to make that happen across Ireland.
Dorothea Mary Heron
Named after Dorothea Mary Heron, Ireland's first female solicitor (1923), Heron was founded in 2023 to mark the centenary of women in Irish legal practice. Just as Dorothea transformed who could practice law in Ireland, we're transforming how legal professionals and businesses connect.
Our Mission: Legal Expertise Where It's Needed
We didn't set out to build just another platform. We saw ambitious Irish practices missing opportunities and experienced solicitors wanting meaningful work on their terms. The solution was simple: connect the two intelligently.
