Solicitor Larry Fenelon SC, who founded Leman Solicitors in 2007 and led its merger with offshore law firm Ogier in 2022, opened his new firm in February this year.

Based at 81 Merrion Square in Dublin 2, the new firm specialises in litigation, regulation and investigations.

“I am really thrilled to launch Fenecas Law, which will be a positive addition to the legal landscape in Ireland,” Mr Fenelon said in February.

“There is a gap in the market for an Irish, innovative, commercial ‘litigation only’ firm that can fiercely protect clients in their hour of need and who do so with an alternative to the billable hour and also conflict-free.

“Having broken ranks with the traditional full-service law firm model, innovation will at the heart of everything we do, driving efficiencies through the use of AI and technology to our unique pricing arrangements.

“We will offer alternative fee arrangements (AFAs) to the market based on stages, milestones and outcomes.

“We are really excited to get going.”

Mr Fenelon has over 25 years’ commercial litigation and business experience in Ireland.

He is a graduate of the University of Oxford, a senior counsel and accredited as both a commercial mediator (CEDR) and arbitrator (FCIarb).
