About

In just two years, Cian Crosbie has established comprehensive legal, compliance and company secretarial functions for Valentia’s global business. Heading a large cross-functional team he is involved at all stages of transactions, and takes a deep involvement in strategic decision-making. ‘As a niche organisation operating in international markets against larger and better resourced competitors, Valentia Technologies has consistently “punched above its weight”’, he says. ‘Each of our contract wins have represented significant highlights for both the wider team here and myself’. Market sources praise Crosbie for the passion he brings to the role, and his effective balancing of legal and business concerns. ‘I love being part of a team that makes something, delivers it and then supports it’, Crosbie says, adding: ‘It helps that I believe in the work that Valentia Technologies does’. His experience with outside counsel has been very positive, he says, but an understanding of clients’ business can be an area for improvement. ‘It is essential that any advice we get is provided in the context of our specific business needs so that the advice is as practical and sensible in the circumstances as it might be’.
