About

Deirdre Fagan is one of the most experienced and well-respected general counsel in the insurance sector in Ireland, having been employed by global insurance giant AXA’s Irish subsidiary AXA Insurance Ireland since 2006. The company is one of the largest insurance businesses in Ireland, and has around 850,000 car insurance customers in the country alone. Fagan’s over-decade-long experience as a senior in-house counsel in the insurance industry has seen her support a number of significant company operations, and recent months have been no different. AXA is in the process of downsizing its branch operations in Ireland in order to improve efficiencies in the Republic; despite this, AXA will still have the largest branch network in the industry. Fagan’s ability in supporting such a significant company’s business endeavours successfully for an extended period of time mark her out as one of the top in-house counsel in Ireland.
