He added: “Each of our partners in the projects, infrastructure and energy group has considerable experience in their field of expertise, combined with a solutions-focussed approach to tackling the complex issues surrounding large-scale infrastructure projects.

“This integrated service offering focusses on the wider issues facing our clients to provide well-rounded, robust advice.”

Ms Igoe advises Irish and international clients on the real estate aspects of acquisitions and disposals, financing and restructuring, corporate mergers and acquisitions and landlord and tenant matters.

With extensive experience in the office, PRS, energy, logistics, retail and hospitality sectors, she has advised domestic and international investors on some of the largest real estate investment transactions to have been completed in Ireland in recent years.

Ms Kelly advises a variety of public and private sector clients in respect of both contentious and non-contentious planning and environmental matters across a wide range of sectors including renewable energy, utilities, manufacturing, telecoms, housing, natural resources, forestry, food and agriculture.

The projects, infrastructure and energy group at Beauchamps consists of eight partners, supported by a team of 12 associates and solicitors, covering areas including energy and natural resources, planning and environment, construction and engineering, procurement, housing and ESG.

Ainsley Heffernan, head of the projects, infrastructure and energy group, said: “This multi-disciplinary team has been formed to deliver comprehensive and commercial legal advice to our clients across the full lifecycle of their projects.

“The recent addition of Fiona has significantly strengthened our construction team.

“I am delighted that Anne Maree and Jeanie, both of whom are market leaders in their respective fields, are now joining the projects, infrastructure and energy team and I look forward to introducing them to our clients.”
