Ability to Represent Clients throughout the Country
Our coverage extends to England and Wales and the Republic of Ireland. We are able to appear in interlocutory hearings in County Courts (smaller claims) and the High Court. For the main hearing of a case in those Courts barristers have to be engaged to conduct the advocacy in Court. In Ireland, the legal profession has two branches. This enables us to engage an advocate with the appropriate specialist experience.
