The new Dublin-based partners are finance lawyer Michelle Daly and corporate and M&A lawyers Deirdre Geraghty, Laura Kennedy and Eugenée Mulhern.

Meanwhile, Ciaran O’Shiel has been promoted to partner in the disputes and investigations team in Belfast, and Chris Martin has been appointed as an of counsel in the financial regulation team in Dublin.

The latest appointments, taking effect from the start of 2022, follow the firm’s recent appointment of Chris Bollard as a commercial and technology partner in Dublin and Aisling Byrne as an employment partner in Belfast.

Managing partner Julian Yarr said: “Congratulations to our new partners and of counsel. Each of them is incredibly talented and a recognised leader – both with our clients and in our firm. Their diversity of skills and experience will enhance our culture and ensure our continued success and growth.

“As we emerge from the shadow of Covid-19, it’s clear that the world is a different place. The dynamism and agility we need to display for our clients and our people has moved up a gear.

“We have invested heavily in developing well-rounded lawyers who have the ability to anticipate and adapt to the changing needs of our clients. These new partners and of counsel are the result of this investment as we continue to build the law firm of the future, now.”
