General Litigation, Disputes & Advisory Services
Legal guidance and representation across disputes, court matters and complex situations.
We advise and represent businesses, individuals and families in relation to disputes and litigation where clear legal guidance and sound judgment are required. These matters can arise in many contexts and often involve uncertainty, competing interests or the need for formal legal intervention.
Our role is to help clients understand their position, protect their interests and guide matters through the appropriate legal processes in a clear, proportionate and professional way.
General Litigation and Dispute Resolution
We advise on a broad range of general litigation and equity matters, including property disputes and disputes arising in the administration of estates.
Our work involves assessing the legal position, advising on available options and progressing matters through negotiation or, where necessary, court proceedings. We focus on practical outcomes and measured decision-making, seeking to resolve disputes efficiently while ensuring that clients’ rights are properly protected.

We help clients understand their options, assess risk and make informed decisions throughout the legal process.

Estate and Property Disputes
Disputes can arise following a death or in connection with property interests, particularly where assets are shared, arrangements are unclear or expectations differ.
We advise individuals involved in estate and property disputes, helping them understand their rights and responsibilities and guiding matters through what can be sensitive and challenging situations. Where resolution cannot be achieved by agreement, we provide representation through formal legal proceedings.
Criminal Litigation
We provide advice and representation in criminal litigation matters. This includes advising clients during Garda investigations, attending Garda stations during questioning, and representing clients before the courts where charges are brought.
We ensure that clients understand their rights at each stage of the process and provide clear guidance throughout what can be a stressful and unfamiliar experience.
Assisted Decision-Making and Capacity Applications
We advise families and individuals on assisted decision-making and capacity applications, where legal authority is required to support a person who is no longer able to make certain decisions for themselves.
This work is carried out with care and sensitivity, ensuring that applications are made correctly, statutory requirements are met, and the rights of the person concerned remain central.

We provide notary services for clients who require documents to be formally certified for use in Ireland or abroad, including:
- Notarization of Powers of attorney
