About

The highly praised Orla Dunlea, Endo Pharmaceuticals’ international legal counsel and company secretary, has impressed peers and clients alike with her navigation of major global deals. With a legal career spanning over 15 years, Dunlea boasts a plethora of experience across leading firms in Ireland, New Zealand and Australia. On her ability to apply herself within different jurisdictions, one former colleague remarks that she is ‘a highly capable, professional and no-nonsense legal counsel. Her litigation and European corporate experience have been invaluable’. She is also consistently praised by her contemporaries for her rounded business acumen. ‘A particularly strong feature is her ability to understand the commercial implications of her advice in the business which she provides support’, another source says. ‘As a result she is an excellent commercial lawyer, and able to deliver value outside a strictly technical legal role’. Prior to joining Endo Pharmaceuticals, Dunlea was an insurance litigator with RSA insurance group and Aviva, where she handled a variety of transactional, company secretarial and other issues.
