Mr O’Keeffe is an expert in the avoidance, management and resolution of construction disputes. He is a trusted commercial advisor to a number of top-tier entities in the construction industry.

He joins the construction and engineering practice led by Conor Owens, alongside partners Kevin Feeney and Eamonn Gill, and supported by the largest specialist construction-related legal team in the Irish market.

Commenting on the appointment, David Widger, managing partner at ALG, said: “I’m delighted to welcome Enda to our market-leading construction and engineering practice.
