David Quinn

Mr Quinn died peacefully, surrounded by his family, at the Blackrock Hospice on Saturday.

Educated at Blackrock College, Mr Quinn studied history and politics at University College Dublin (UCD) before going on to qualify as a solicitor, training with Collins Crowley Solicitors.

He joined Beauchamps in 2007 and became an associate in its litigation team, where he remained until 2019. He subsequently joined BLM as a healthcare associate.

Beauchamps paid tribute to Mr Quinn on LinkedIn yesterday, writing: “David was an absolute gentleman with huge natural empathy and humour. He helped many clients in the most difficult of circumstances and was the finest colleague you could wish for.

“His immense strength of character was such that he bore his illness with equanimity. He will be missed by his many friends in Beauchamps.”

Colleagues, family and friends of Mr Quinn have paid tributes to him in an online condolence book.
