We provide advice and representation in company and commercial law. This can include a number of different areas. For example, a commercial tenancy dispute would fall into the category, as would legal proceedings by a bank seeking a possession order against mortgaged property. Some areas, for example criminal or immigration cases, are not covered and we do not provide advice in those areas. If you are in any doubt as to whether we can assist with your query, feel free to contact us with a description of the service you require and we will be happy to assist.

Corporate Legal is not intended to replace solicitors and neither do we do the same thing as solicitors. Solicitors are general practitioners and are prohibited by the Law Society's Code of Conduct from holding themselves out to be specialists in particular areas of law. Barristers, on the other hand, are specialists in their respective areas of law. They are advisors to the advisors. That means that when you go to a solicitor for advice about a complex legal question, the solicitor will normally seek the Opinion of a barrister who specialises in that area of law.

To use a medical analogy, a solicitor is more like a GP whiile a barrister is like a Consultant in a specialised field.

Of course. If you already have a solicitor then simply ask that solicitor to contact us about your legal query. In that situation, we will put your solicitor in contact with our specialist Counsel who will be able to assist you. You can also contact us directly if you would prefer.

Yes, our barristers carry professional indemnity insurance as required by the Bar Council of Ireland.
