Redmond & Co, a boutique practice located in the Dublin CBD specialising in property and litigation with a particular emphasis on the insurance industry. His clients included Allianz, Zurich, Generali and the Motor Insurers Bureau of Ireland. My property practice encompassed both contentions and non-contentions matters and included advising on residential developments and building defects litigation. I moved to Sydney with my family to undertake work for the Insurance and Commercial Dispute Resolution Groups at McCabes Lawyers before joining Turnbull Bowles in 2010. I have recently joined Scott Chambers, Daniel Russell and Paul Jurdeczka and their dynamic team of dedicated lawyers and staff at Chambers Russell.My two greatest passions are my family and rugby.
