About

As legal director Ireland for Aramark Northern Europe, Emer Carey is the senior Irish based lawyer for one of the largest US employers in Ireland. A nominator highlights that, ‘this in many ways speaks for itself in terms of the inevitable range of legal practice issues which Emer is faced with dealing on a daily basis in her role. She is a pleasure to work with, is demanding but fair, commercial and pragmatic but still technical and precise’. Carey has built up a very effective network and has excellent interpersonal and communication skills and is clearly very well respected within Aramark and is also well known within the Irish in-house community. Working for an organisation that has several business lines and thousands of employees within the jurisdiction you are responsible for can be daunting and challenging, yet Carey is known to bring enthusiasm and drive to the projects she leads on. A nominator identifies that ‘she brings a fresh modern perspective in that context also in an industry which in many ways is very traditional and industrial’. The last number of years have been very active periods for Aramark from a corporate as well as an industry and commercial perspective. Carey has consistently risen to the challenge and clearly has lots more to offer as she continues to lead the charge on the legal side for Aramark in Ireland.
