We enjoy working as a team, side by side.
It's a non-hierarchical approach that puts client service, collegiality, collaboration and transparency at the centre of our firm's culture. This is supported by our history, our core values and our training practices.
People
Our culture is embodied by our people and demonstrated by how we behave.
Our lawyers are given direct exposure to clients at an early stage in their career and take on increasing responsibility as part of their development. Our lawyers are always supported by appropriate supervision and with a comprehensive training programme, however, we also allow them space to develop creativity through independent thinking, hard work and by taking ownership of their projects.
Our people are all-rounders with diverse backgrounds, experience and profiles but are consistently:
-
Easy to work with
-
Hands on and personal in their style
-
Relationship builders
-
Pragmatic
-
Problem solvers
-
Creative
-
Entrepreneurial
-
Committed and hard working
-
Project managers
Size
With 190 people based in our Dublin headquarters, our size and structure is ideally sized to take on complex and challenging work, while making sure teams are consistent and experienced. We are growing - 20% in the last 18 months - but growth itself is not a goal. We intend to remain lean and agile in order to take advantage of market opportunities.
Management
We have a young partnership leading an energetic team of professionals. We encourage a hands-on pragmatism in our approach to client work, underpinned by a strong project management ethos. Our expert teams treat clients as peers, with a healthy respect for their individual business priorities.
Office
We are based at Sir John Rogerson's Quay - where Dublin's Grand Canal and Financial Services areas meet. We run an open-plan office because it keeps us all connected to each other and to our client work. It also makes it easier to share ideas and updates. This is supplemented by private space for conference calls, meetings and breaks. We are continually investing in our building, IT and process infrastructure to become more efficient in how we work.
