Mr Crawford died at home in Balbriggan last Thursday, according to a notice published on rip.ie. His funeral will take place tomorrow morning at S.S. Peter & Paul’s Church.

He was a senior associate in Philip Lee’s technology and intellectual property team. A graduate of University College Dublin, he qualified as a solicitor in 2017.

In a statement, Philip Lee said: “It is with great sadness that we announce the unexpected and tragic passing of our colleague and dear friend Peter Crawford.

“Peter was with the firm for almost 10 years, joining as an intern and most recently becoming a senior associate. He was an excellent lawyer and his intelligence and good judgement were highly valued by all of us who had the pleasure of working with him. Those who knew him well were familiar with his great sense of humour.

“He will be missed by his many friends in Philip Lee. We extend our deepest sympathies to his family.”
