Mason Hayes & Curran sees revenue rise to €77m

Mason Hayes & Curran has reported a rise in revenue of 7 per cent to €77 million in 2016.

Publishing its latest turnover figures, the firm also highlighted its international expansion in 2016, with the appointment of corporate partners Graeme Bell and David Mangan as heads of the London and New York offices respectively, and the opening of an office in San Francisco, led by technology lawyer Oisin Tobin.

Declan Black, managing partner of the firm, said: “The firm experienced record growth levels in 2014 and 2015 so we are pleased that the firm has continued to grow in the more challenging trading conditions experienced in 2016.

“Given those changing conditions, we have focused on what we can control, which is providing our clients with deep expertise and insight, coupled with exemplary client service. Our approach to service was recognised again by Chambers Europe awarding us the “Ireland Client Service Law Firm of the Year” in 2016.

“We also appointed a director of client service in 2016, which is a relatively new role in Ireland. This service gives clients complimentary access to a senior legal resource whose sole purpose is to enhance the service they receive and ensure the legal advice and information they need is tailored to their requirements.”

“It’s obvious that 2017 is likely to bring considerable economic uncertainty for Ireland as the UK Brexit negotiations and the policies of the Trump administration unfold.

“Staying with the theme of managing what is within your control, we will continue our focus on working collaboratively with our clients to achieve the best possible outcomes for them, whatever the economic landscape.

“We are also positioned to advise clients on re-organisations which may flow from fundamental changes caused by Trump or Brexit, whether they involve establishments or dis-establishments in Ireland or enhanced opportunities with other EU countries like Germany and France.”
