Recognised as one of Ireland’s most respected leaders in professional services, Mr Yarr brings a wealth of corporate experience to the board of EisnerAmper Ireland.

A corporate lawyer by profession, Julian spent more than 25 years with A&L Goodbody. He held a number of senior leadership positions at the firm throughout his career, before being appointed managing partner in 2010 – a position he held for 12 years. At the same time, he also served as a member of the Advisory Board of Accenture in Ireland for over a decade.

He also brings significant international governance experience through senior advisory coaching and board roles across the UK and Europe, including as independent chair of the board of Sorainen, the leading law firm in the Baltics, as chair of the board of Social Entrepreneurs Ireland and as independent board advisor to Advant, one of the largest independent European law firm alliances. 

He is a previous member of the Advisory Board of the Law Firm Management Committee of the International Bar Association and is accredited by the European Mentoring and Coaching Council as a leadership coach.

He said: “What attracted me to EisnerAmper Ireland is the clarity of its vision, strategic positioning and the quality of its leadership.  This is a firm that has chosen to specialise deeply in sectors where experience, judgement and relationships matter. It has an exceptional entrepreneurial culture, brings an international focus to Ireland and is well ahead of the curve on the development and deployment of AI and other technologies.”

Attracta van Rensburg, CEO of EisnerAmper Ireland, commented: “Julian’s appointment is an important milestone for EisnerAmper Ireland as we continue to grow as a specialist firm built around deep sector expertise, senior-led client service and commercially grounded advice.”
