Testimonials
Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.
- Very strong team. Neil Bourke is a fantastic partner. They are commercially responsive and solution-driven.
- Technically strong and willing to advise clients (a lot of other lawyers fail to actually advise in-house legal lawyers).
- ‘The managing partner, Mark Walsh, is a real estate specialist, and we have worked very successfully on many property issues. It is no surprise to me that he continues as managing partner, as he is a very likeable but really sharp and smart lawyer.'
- ‘There is a diligence and expertise in this firm that is the best in Dublin.’
- ‘I recommend Aoife Fitzpatrick, Lisa Griffen and Justine Territt.'
- ‘Neil Bourke is a leader in his field and soon to be captain of his industry in no time. Approachable, commercial, agile and consistently breaks down barriers to deals.'
- ‘A team strength is the groups' ability to deliver on time and lend key experience when deals hit an impasse.'
