About

Dunnes Stores, an Irish retail institution for over 70 years, is still a family-run and privately owned operation, yet is one of the largest and most important retailers in Ireland offering a range of products across its hundreds of locations including fashion, homeware, and quality-assured food, as well as its online catalogue. The legal function at the company has been led by general counsel Robert Heron since 2014, and can rely on his extensive commercial and corporate law experience as well as his leadership credentials as a member of the Institute of Directors in Ireland and chair of the Business Law Committee of the Law Society of Ireland when handling pertinent legal matters for the retailer. The team is recognised for assisting Dunnes in its recent multimillion euro refurbishment and expansion of some its most important stores. In addition, the legal team is poised to meet the challenges of Brexit, new consumer regulations and other legal changes that will have an impact on the retail industry in the coming years.
