Kate Kinsella, Sarah Murphy, Maximilian Mitscherlich and Roisin Cronin have qualified and joined DLA Piper as fully fledged solicitors in Ireland following their successful completion of the firm’s international graduate programme.

David Carthy, country managing partner for DLA Piper Ireland, said: “I would like to congratulate Kate, Sarah, Max and Roisin on their significant achievement in qualifying as solicitors in Ireland.

“Collectively, they have demonstrated exceptional dedication, resilience, and professionalism throughout their training.”

He added: “This is a milestone moment for the four as individuals, but it is also marks a significant achievement for DLA Piper in Ireland as our first-ever intake of the trainee solicitors qualify.

“Training our own lawyers was an early priority for us which has come to fruition as we celebrate our fifth anniversary in Ireland and our team has grown to over 115. Our vision has always been to nurture and develop the next generation of legal talent, and seeing our first cohort reach this stage is incredibly rewarding.

“Their journey reflects our commitment to excellence and our belief in investing in our people to build a brighter future for the legal profession. They all have a bright future ahead of them and we are lucky to be able to add such talent to our team.”
