‘The team is experienced, approachable and solution focused. There is always a way, always a solution, and all with a focus on pragmatic outcomes.'
Hilda Wrixon has been our partner for years and is a highly trusted and valued partner. She explains issues, gets to the heart of why a particular issue or provision matters under Irish law, and translates Irish business into terms that US teams grasp easily. She partners with our brokers, contacts local agencies on our behalf, and is sensitive to our costs and budgets. Plus, Hilda is always available, proactive, and kind. On a scale from 1-10, Hilda is a 20! She ensures her junior partners provide excellent and reliable services as well.
They are a full-service law firm and have a well-resourced RE team. They have a lot of history with our sites and can assist with all of our needs as a business.
The team is amazing, beyond knowledgeable, and supportive of clients. We have needed extra help as we have no corporate functions in Ireland. They have served as a trusted partner liaison in many situations. Beyond having expertise, top-level professionalism, kindness, a proactive approach, and issue spotting. I can't rank Hilda Wrixon and her team highly enough!
