Having spent many years on the employment team of one of Dublin’s leading law firms, I have expertise in a wide range of employment law issues, both contentious and non-contentious. I also have a lot of experience in advising on employment issues arising in commercial transactions, along with health and safety in employment.

I hold a Bachelor of Civil Law from University College Dublin, a Diploma in Business Studies from LSB College, a Diploma in Employment Law and a Certificate in Pension Law and Practice from the Law Society of Ireland. I am a member of the Employment Law Association of Ireland, the Employment Law Association in the UK, and the European Employment Lawyers Association as well as a member of the Employment Law Committee of the Law Society of Ireland.

I am consistently ranked in the Chambers Europe legal directory, where I’m described by a client as "responsive, proactive and pragmatic, as well as solution-oriented."
