Testimonials
Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.
‘I worked extensively with Niamh McKeever, of Beachcroft DAC. She worked on a multi-year project that resulted in the successful negotiation of several amendments to the 2005 Health and Social Care Professionals Act; thus, creating an enhanced regime of Statutory regulation for allied health professionals in Ireland.'
'The expertise and diligence of Niamh McKeever at Beachcroft DAC was without comparison in other legal firms. Throughout this project, I had the opportunity to liaise with several other practices. Ms McKeever and Beachcroft's performance surpassed these firms, in terms of expertise in health care regulatory frameworks, diligence and commitment.’
