Our Values


At Philip Lee we pride ourselves on retaining the brightest legal minds in our practice areas, and these are often the people with the greatest insight into developments and changes in the law. The individual expertise and connections of our Partners in particular are exceptionally strong, and they are all active members of professional associations and enjoy excellent relationships with policy makers and other leading professionals. We use our connections in law firms, regulatory bodies and industry abroad to further the interests of our clients, enabling access to knowledge, expertise and practical experiences of which our Irish clients might not otherwise be aware. For example, we are the only Irish members of Multilaw, a long established international association of lawyers. Membership keeps us abreast of international trends and gives us direct access to top law firms worldwide whenever necessary.

We take account of new developments and unpredicted challenges, and respond effectively. We do this by ensuring that the team involved has the ability to take a broad strategic view and can speedily tap into additional resources and disciplines as requirements evolve.

We act for a number of companies in the NGO and not-for-profit sector, including; Integrating Ireland, the Immigrant Network, Refugee Information Service, Integration and Social Inclusion Centre of Ireland, Connect Ethiopia (a business support charity co-founded by Philip Lee), Camara (a technology based education charity) and the Aids Partnership for Africa. We are as committed and resourced to addressing the needs and requirements of these companies as we are to acting for our larger and better known public and private sector clients.
