Law Society team triumphs in Irish National Negotiation Competition

Two trainee solicitors are celebrating their win at the Irish National Negotiation Competition 2016 on Sunday.

The Law Society of Ireland has warmly congratulated the Law Society team on their victory over the King’s Inns in the final round.

Tara Gibbon, trainee solicitor with Arthur Cox in Dublin, and Peter Mounsey, trainee solicitor with O’Donovan Baker in Cork, won the competition at NUI Maynooth.

They were coached by Jane Moffatt of the Law Society and tasked with negotiating commercial contracts on behalf of clients.

As national winners, Ms Gibbon and Mr Mounsey will represent Ireland at the International Negotiation Competition 2016 in Lucerne, Switzerland this July, where teams from 25 countries will compete.
