About

I specialise in assisting businesses with navigating the complexities of Irish immigration and global mobility with a particular expertise in supporting domestic and international clients on bringing non-EEA nationals to Ireland.

The Irish immigration system presents a complex system to navigate. With my deep knowledge of immigration law, employment permit legislation and the Irish immigration system, I guide businesses and its employees through this intricate system, helping them to minimise risks, avoid problems and offer efficient and effective solutions for their business.

I work with a diverse range of clients, from multinationals to small sized businesses to sports clubs to production companies to startups, across a wide array of industries including, technology, finance, construction, media & entertainment, automotive, sports, advertising, retail, hospitality, and leisure. Whether it involves senior executives, key personnel, professional athletes, entertainers or contractors, I cover all aspects of work and business-related immigration permissions, including employment permits, business visas and more.

I also assist with individual visa requirements, family reunification, preclearance requirements and a whole host of other applications whether it is naturalisation applications or ad hoc applications to remain.
