Ms Kenny, who has over 20 years’ experience in the construction sector, will advise clients on both contentious and non-contentious construction issues.

Commenting on Ms Kenny’s appointment, partner Margaret Austin told Irish Legal News: “Siobhan’s construction experience ranges from the provision of advices at the inception of a project right through to claims, avoidance and if disputes arise, dispute management.

“Having participated in adjudications, mediations and arbitrations Siobhan has significant practical experience of managing disputes.”

Ms Austin added: “Her experience in public procurement and her construction contract skills will also be particularly well suited to the projects on which we are currently advising including large residential developments acting for both funders and approved housing bodies, student accommodation and commercial office developments and advising clients in the hospitality and pharma sector.”
