Communication between both client and solicitor is, in our view, paramount. To that end, we actively encourage clients to communicate electronically with us where this is both possible and desirable. We are a National law firm and have represented the interests of our clients in all Courts throughout Ireland.

We see little point in providing legal services and advices to you if you do not understand them.With this in mind, when we meet with you, whether the meeting is the first or the latest in a long series of meetings, you are our guest and we treat you as such.Our aim is to use this time in an efficient manner to hear what your needs are, explain and present a clear and concise plan of action in comprehensible terms, and to ultimately arrive at a strategy that is suitable for you.
