Active in three main service and utilities areas – water management, waste management and energy services – Veolia is Ireland’s leading environmental services company and provides a range of energy, waste and water solutions to customers across the country. Jennifer Adams joined the company in 2011 as a legal counsel in its Dublin office, her first in-house role. In 2014 she was promoted to head of legal for Veolia’s Irish operation. Described by a colleague as a ‘solution-oriented strategic thinker’, Adams is now regarded as a valued advisor to the company. Adams has been educated at University College Dublin and King’s College London and previously worked as an associate solicitor at LK Shields. On what has motivated her throughout her career, Adams had the following to say: ‘One of the best things about being an in-house lawyer for me has been having the opportunity to work closely with people with a broad range of skills sets and perspectives on a number of diverse and exciting projects. I have absolutely enjoyed the challenge so far’.
