A Note from our Managing Partner
I am delighted to bring to you another edition of Holmes News. We have had a busy start to 2024 and I hope we capture some of the exciting developments in this newsletter.
There are also a number of new starters in the firm. I extend a warm welcome to Geoffrey Fung, a Hong Kong and British Virgin Islands lawyer, who has joined the Commercial Litigation Team bringing considerable experience in Commercial Disputes and Arbitration. I would also like to welcome Jacqueline Molloy who joined our HR Team following a period of working with Arthur Cox. Retention and recruitment of key personnel is an ongoing challenge in today’s Irish economy and at Holmes we are working hard to attract, retain and engage committed and productive talent necessary to develop organisational capacity in a business environment requiring fast and efficient legal response times.
We have also had a number of promotions and I would like to extend warm congratulations to both Marguerite Seymour and Susan O’Reilly who have been promoted to the rank of Of Counsel in the Commercial Litigation and Corporate Units respectively. We have a number of recently qualified lawyers. Avril McNamara has recently qualified and is working in the Banking Unit and congratulations to Brian Moynihan (Corporate) and to Cian Clifford (Regulatory) who qualify very shortly. We look forward to working with them for many years to come.
We work hard as a firm at ensuring continuity in the delivery of legal services and I can assure you that your business is safe in our hands.
On the 6th of June Holmes again had the opportunity to host the Professional Negligence Lawyers Association Seminar at the St. Stephens Green Club in Dublin. We had some excellent presentations, and it was a great opportunity for us to present, network and connect with both existing and potential financial lines clients.
A big thank you to Jennifer Nolan, who has recently taken over the Business Development role in the firm, for organising such an excellent event. A lot of work goes into these events from organising to presenting but they are a vital tool in assisting our clients to stay up to date and relevant in an evolving market.
This edition brings you news of ongoing issues of legal interest across a spectrum of sectors and some updates on how our firm continues to make positive impacts in our communities.
I hope you enjoy the latest edition of Holmes News and as always, please feel free to contact me if there is anything I can assist you with.
Kind regards,
Harry Fehily
Managing Partner
