  • ‘The team are pleasant, professional and commercial. Their fee quotes are realistic, their work is to a high standard, and they effectively manage our expectations. They have a strong knowledge of the Irish market and the realities of doing business in it.’

  • ‘Conor Keaveny is a fantastic all round lawyer - he's pleasant to deal with, clear and commercial in his advice, and works to an extremely high standard. He's easy to pick up the phone to, if you have a query, and will never make you feel as though you are wasting his time, no matter how basic or strange the query is. John-Hugh Colleran is also a great all round lawyer, well liked by our lenders for his pleasant attitude, careful advice and timely document turns. Expectations in terms of fees and turn around times are well managed by both lawyers. Dealing with them is just easy.’
