Irish Law Awards Final 2019

In recent news, we are honoured to have been nominated for four awards at this year’s Irish Law Awards. We are so proud of our team here and due to their continual hard work, we are delighted to be finalists within the following categories:

  • Legal Executive of the Year – Deirdre O’Donovan
  • Personal Injury/Medical Negligence Law Firm/Lawyer of the Year
  • Excellence and Innovation in Client Service Munster
  • Munster Law Firm of the Year

The Irish Law Awards were established in 2012 and aim to “identify, honour, and publicise outstanding achievements, while also recognising those who have dedicated their lives to serving in the legal profession. This annual event is designed to recognise excellence in the legal profession of Ireland, commending the achievements of lawyers.”

We are very much looking forward to the awards night on June 14th at the Clayton Hotel in Dublin and hope that the success of previous years can continue.
