I am a solicitor and CEDR-accredited Mediator.I am also a qualified CIPP/E (Certified Information Privacy Professional / EU) practitioner in the Data Privacy and Cyber Security space.I act for and advise my clients in a range of forms of dispute resolution, from court to arbitration, mediation and negotiated settlements. I handle contract and shareholder disputes, corporate insolvencies, construction disputes, data privacy, cybersecurity, fraud, alternative dispute resolution, professional negligence and general litigation.I advise clients on complex ADR processes, data privacy and cybersecurity matters as well as pre-litigation risk mitigation across a range of issues. I have achieved status as a Certified Information Privacy Professional for Europe (CIPP/e) from the IAPP (International Association of Privacy Professionals).My corporate insolvency work has included acting in a large number of examinerships and liquidations (for petitioner and for liquidator). In particular I led the legal team that achieved the longest ever disqualification of a director in Irish corporate history, arising from a large scale systematic VAT fraud scheme.I aim to develop a deep understanding of my clients' business or background so as to unlock the key drivers of a successful outcome. I place a strong importance on ensuring that my clients understand the case or process and that their own time investment is managed efficiently.I come from a small family company background so have grown up with a keen awareness of what it takes to successful build a business from scratch and deal with the challenges that any growing business faces. I particularly enjoy being able to present novel options to clients – and particularly when in doing so I can assist mitigating the stress of a contentious situation.
