Now in their fifth year, the European Legal Awards were created to promote excellence and knowledge through teaching, research, and pro-active networking.

David O’Malley, who practices in Callan Tansey’s medical negligence department, was recognised in the medical law category.

Matheson partner Garret Farrelly was also recognised in the awards.

Mr O’Malley said his award “represents a big team effort from all at Callan Tansey and it is nice to be recognised. We shall keep striving to ensure access to justice for our clients and fighting the good fight.”
