Fergal Maguire, director at Cleaver Fulton Rankin, has been recognised in the Business First Northern Ireland Top 40 Under 40 List.

Mr Maguire is director in the Belfast firm’s dispute resolution department.

He is recognised in the list, assembled by Business First yearly, due to his professional achievements, his success and contribution to the firm, particularly his commitment to the growth of the firm and in developing talent, and his community contribution. He recently became an accredited mediator.

Commenting on the recognition, Mr Maguire said: “As Cleaver Fulton Rankin celebrates its 125th year in business and The Legal 500 Northern Ireland Law Firm of the Year Award, I am delighted to be recognised as one of Northern Ireland’s Top 40 Under 40.

“I am really looking forward to attending the Northern Ireland 40 under 40 List Networking Lunch on Wednesday 30th May, to celebrate with other recognised business professionals throughout Northern Ireland.”

A special “People’s Choice Award” will also be presented to one of the 40 at the Northern Ireland 40 under 40 List Networking Lunch at the end of May following a public vote on the Business First website.
