Leman celebrates 10 years of innovation in law

The firm, which has seen 25 per cent growth year-on-year and expects to grow further by 2027, celebrated its landmark achievements in the Irish legal profession, introducing a number of innovative practices.

Leman says it is the first Irish firm to go paperless; to give clients online access to their files; to give fixed fees for all work, including litigation; to give clients a service charter; to get ISO 9001 for Quality & ISO 27001 for Security Management; and to introduce an affiliate programme which promotes flexible and remote working practices.

In another first, it has set up a new Leman Consulting business to focus on legal technology, preventive law and multidisciplinary practice.

Larry Fenelon, Leman’s founding and managing partner, said: “We are immensely proud of all we have achieved; we have had a remarkable 10 years but it doesn’t end here. We have huge drive and ambition and we have big plans for the next 10. Our new legal consultancy is where we see the future of law and we plan to continue to lead the change through our transformation plan.

“In the sense that there is a glass ceiling or a rule book for how law should be practiced, we want to punch through the ceiling and rip up the rule book. We promise to continue to do things differently because if we don’t, we join the queue. And to put it simply we want to and will, form the queue.”
