About

Coming in for particular praise from nominating sources on the back of an established record of innovation, the Aer Lingus legal team also successfully supports and manages the myriad of challenges posed during the operation of an international full-service airline. The added pressures of being the flag carrier of Ireland, and thus a representative of the nation around the world, mean reputation management and consistently excellent customer relations are experienced at an intensity far above what many other in-house legal teams face. However, these issues do not trouble its expert, multi-jurisdictional legal team, as it is safe in the knowledge of its own ability. The team is built around the abilities of a number of well-regarded senior team members, including highly experienced legal director Laurence Gourley – who has over two decades’ experience with the airline – and Méabh Gallagher, who serves as director of corporate governance, legal counsel and company secretary.
