Mr Heneghan was presented with the prestigious award at a celebratory dinner last night at the De Vere Grand Connaught Rooms in London.

The Irish award in the Construction category, chosen by Client Choice’s team of researchers, was presented to Mr Heneghan for a second consecutive year.

He specialises in providing advice on both contentious and non-contentious construction, projects, and dispute resolution for state entities, international clients/intermediaries, developers, financial institutions, professionals, and contractors.

He also offers guidance on Irish and international construction and engineering agreements, including bespoke and standard forms such as RIAI, IEI, GCCC, JCT, NEC, and FIDIC.

Additionally, Mr Heneghan advises on procurement and PPP/PFI matters, as well as alternative dispute resolution methods like conciliation, mediation, adjudication, arbitration, construction insolvency issues, and rescue financing.

His recent and ongoing work includes advising the developer on the development financing and construction of Google Ireland’s Boland’s Quay office and residential development, the redevelopment of the net-zero carbon Irish Life headquarters campus, acting for the department of the Environment, Climate and Communications on the rollout and operation of the National Broadband Plan — the largest construction project in Ireland.

Other highlights include advising EirGrid on its emergency power generation plants, and advising the daa on the procurement and development of various complex infrastructure projects across its portfolio at Dublin Airport.
