About

Ruth Murphy has served the majority of her in-house career with BT Ireland, joining the telecommunications giant in March 2004 as a commercial lawyer and working her way up the ranks over the years. In 2012 she was promoted to senior commercial lawyer and having excelled in the role was promoted to chief counsel two years later. Murphy assumed her current position in April 2016 and in this capacity has been heavily involved with each element of the business, having input into all key decisions that the business makes, whether it is strategic, customer or employee related. Leading a team of six lawyers across Ireland to support the business and to act as problem solvers, Murphy has trained them to be excellent advisers able to support all aspects of BT’s Irish operations. Credited for moulding the internal structure and creating the close relationship with the business, the legal function has been described by the business as ‘the core of everything [they] do.’ Prior to her in-house role Murphy served as a commercial solicitor at Eversheds Ireland.
