Testimonial

I joined the Commercial Property Department of William Fry as a newly qualified Solicitor in 2001, having completed my traineeship in a small practice in Cork. It was a fantastic time to be working in Property as the country was experiencing the largest property boom ever. I regularly acted on transactions with a monetary value in excess of 50 million and had dealings with all of the major players in the property market. Throughout that period, there was great camaraderie among my colleagues, in addition to a sense of satisfaction in getting a large deal over the line.

With the recent downturn in the economy, and the resultant increase in property litigation, I have moved to the Litigation Department to focus on contentious property disputes and be a dedicated property expert with the Litigation Department. This offers the best of both worlds as I can still do property transactional work while also advising my clients on contentious property issues. With the full support of the firm, I retrained using internal and external resources.

Having worked in William Fry for almost 10 years, I can recognise that one of the best things is that hard work and endeavour are recognised and rewarded.
