‘Strong market experts - very well connected. Great communication skills and collaborative approach. ’
‘Hard working, knowledgeable, people persons - keen to help, flexible and trustworthy.’
‘A group where individuals clearly work with other partners in the firm as a team, with market leading industry knowledge, yet also commercial in their approach with clients. Further supported with good links into the Central Bank of Ireland when required.’
‘Cillian Bredin has an in-depth knowledge of detailed regulations, yet also has a practical and commercial approach with his clients. Importantly, Cillian is a genuine, personable and fun guy to work with. Someone I also trust and respect immensely.’
‘The advice was good, our points were all negotiated robustly and responses were prompt so we delivered on time. Also, when our lead lawyer took annual leave, another lawyer stepped in who was fully up-to-speed, so there was a seamless transition. The cost was also reasonable given the amount of work that went into the project.’
‘Our lead lawyer was Alanna Hannon who did an excellent job at reviewing all of the documents, taking into account our comments, negotiating strongly on our behalf, being available for meetings or calls, sometimes out of normal office hours, and making sure that everything was achieved on time – really excellent work.’
