About

Since its establishment in the 1960s in Ireland, the building materials company Kingspan Group has grown into one of the largest businesses in the country with operations spanning Europe, North America and Australasia. As a global leader in the market of sustainable products for the construction industry, the company operates through five distinct divisions: Insulated Panels, Insulation Boards, Access Floors, Environmental, and Light and Air. By ensuring adequate handling of all legal and compliance issues encountered by each of these divisions, Kingspan Group’s legal department has been an important part of the company’s success globally. The company employs a number of respected legal professionals such as company secretary Lorcan Dowd. A solicitor qualified since 1992 and former PwC corporate legal services head, Dowd has on many occasions impressed with his leadership on important strategic issues. His colleague Thomas J. Reilly is an elected member of the Council of the Law Society of Ireland and participates actively in the society’s in-house and Public Sector Committee and Human Rights Committee. He also receives praise for his skills in managing civil litigation at Kingspan.
