Our Practice Areas
The firm has years of experience in both commercial and residential conveyancing, acting for a wide range of builders, first time buyers, investors and home owners including voluntary transfers.
We guide purchasers through the entire process from contracts to completion of the purchase including liaising with banks, surveyors, insurers and all other necessary parties including first registration of title in the Property Registration Authority when required.
For sellers, we give expert advice in how to prepare for the sale, dealing with purchasers and their solicitors and finally completing the transaction.
We also advise landlords and tenants on all matters in relation to drafting and review of leases with all ancillary assistance.
We advise on all matters relating to the sale and purchase of land, including farm land and development land.

When such a negotiated outcome is not possible, we strive to find a practical solution for all parties and to alleviate the stress involved during this difficult time.
We have extensive experience in all Family Courts. We also advise on ancillary issues such as pension provisions, pension adjustment orders and life insurance provisions.
Declaration re parentage for same sex couples
Section 21 of the Children and Family Relationships Act, 2015 came into effect in May 2020.
This changes the definition of parent in Irish law and introduces the concept of the “intending parent”. It allows same sex female couples to both be registered as parents of the child already born to one of them, conceived by way of Donor Assisted Human Reproduction (DAHR) Procedure. We have experience of advising clients if they can avail of this procedure, and of making this application on behalf of our clients before the Court. If you would like any information, please contact us.
