We don’t just identify the risk, we create the solution.
We advise companies (from start-ups to established multinationals), government departments, state bodies, the not-for-profit sector and charities on legal and governance matters.
As well as being experienced lawyers, senior members of our corporate group sit on the boards of various organisations including hospitals, charities, state bodies and private businesses. We understand that legal advice must be capable of practical implementation.
Benefiting from the international focus of our business, through our offices (in Dublin, London and San Francisco) and membership of Multilaw, we can provide you with access to the very latest international corporate developments and to thought leaders.
Our solutions strike an appropriate balance between securing stakeholder, investor and regulatory confidence and facilitating commercial objectives and operations. We help board members and senior executives to function efficiently within the applicable legal and regulatory parameters.

-

- Directors’ duties and responsibilities
