Former barristers launch specialist firm KM Solicitors LLP
Two former barristers have launched KM Solicitors LLP, a new specialist litigation and dispute resolution law firm in Dublin 2.
Led by partners Patrick Kevans and Andrew Murnaghan, the new firm specialises in child and disability law, bankruptcy and personal insolvency law and planning law, as well as offering services in all areas of litigation.
Both lawyers practised as barristers for nine years from 2009 to 2018 before practising as solicitors in Dublin firm Reddy Charlton LLP.
“We were our own bosses for nine years as barristers,” Mr Kevans told Irish Legal News. “It was always a natural step to set up our own firm.”
Mr Murnaghan said: “One of our primary areas is disability law and child law. There is a crisis in this country around services for kids with special needs. That’s a particular area of focus we’re very committed to and we’re going to spend a lot of time in that area.”
