Matheson LLP

Partner and Head of Commercial Litigation Insurance team

Sharon Daly heads the Commercial Litigation Insurance team which is described by Legal 500 as "second to none" with Sharon being personally commended for her ability to respond creatively to complex issues.

Sharon and her team have been involved in some of the most significant commercial litigation before the Irish courts in the last ten years, including defending a major financial institution in a multi-billion, multi-jurisdictional dispute arising from investment in Bernard L. Madoff’s business.  Sharon also acted for insurers in the largest property damage dispute to come before the Irish courts in relation to the liability of hydro-electrical dams and flood damage arising therefrom.

Sharon and her team advise a wide range of clients on insurance issues including policy wordings, coverage, policy disputes, defence of large complex claims and subrogated recovery actions.

Sharon is the Co-Chair of the International Bar Association Insurance Committee for 2018-2020 and has actively sought to use this committee to bring together leaders in the insurance industry to address the challenges in the industry globally.

As a member of Matheson’s Brexit Advisory Group and a council member of the Dublin Chamber of Commerce, Sharon is working with Government and other key stakeholders to encourage UK-based multinationals to relocate to Dublin in order to facilitate the growth of Dublin as a leading global business centre, building on Brexit and beyond.
