The new firm will practice under the title of Walsh and Partners Solicitors LLP, incorporating Deborah O’Connell Solicitor, and will be located at 88 Main Street, Midleton, Co Cork.

The existing Walsh & Partners Solicitors LLP offices at 17 South Mall, Cork will remain open for business.

In a statement, the firms said: “All existing staff of both offices, including all solicitors, will continue to practice within the newly established firm. All services previously available to clients of both firms will continue to be available under the new arrangement, which include family law, conveyancing, probate and wills, personal injuries and litigation and medical negligence.

“All the existing lines of communication from both firms will continue to be operational.

“We are looking forward to working in the newly merged practice. With four solicitors, two legal executives and six administrative staff in the new firm, we will be able to offer a comprehensive legal service to existing and new clients.”
