About

Diarmaid Cunningham developed a reputation for excellence during the early days of his career, when he worked for law firm A&L Goodbody for 10 years as a private practice lawyer. Having developed strong expertise in M&A deals, corporate law, joint ventures and re-structurings, Cunningham was in a perfect position to move in-house and joined the contract research organization ICON as its general counsel in 2009. Over the next few years, he expanded the legal department and improved its quality of service by hiring high quality personnel. Now the team operates as a truly unified and sophisticated global function that employs an abundance of talented and dynamic legal professionals working across Dublin, the US, Holland, Argentina and China. In addition to serving as ICON’s general counsel, Cunningham now oversees client contract services, human resources, facilities and procurement departments in his role as chief administrative officer. Since 2013, Cunningham has been seconded in the US to broaden his knowledge of ICON’s US business, but maintains a strong focus on Ireland and is expected to return to be based in the country in 2018.
