Judicial Review, Planning & Environmental, and Chancery Matters

Specialist Representation in High Court Proceedings

We have niche expertise in handling complex and high-value legal proceedings before the High Court, particularly in the following areas:

Judicial Review

We represent individuals, organisations, and businesses seeking to challenge decisions made by public bodies or regulatory authorities. Judicial review is a highly specialised area requiring swift action and a strong legal foundation. Common cases include:

Challenges to planning permissions or development approvals
Appeals against decisions of local authorities or An Bord Pleanála
Public procurement disputes
Education and health service challenges
Immigration and deportation orders

We act for both applicants and notice parties, guiding clients through the procedural and evidential requirements of this fast-moving and technical court process.

Planning & Environmental Litigation

Planning and environmental disputes can have long-lasting implications for property owners, developers, and communities. We provide advice and representation on:

Enforcement actions under planning legislation
Objections or appeals to development decisions
Environmental impact and zoning issues
Strategic Housing Development (SHD) legal challenges
Section 5 declarations and retention planning permission queries

We offer strategic insight for clients involved in contentious planning issues, and act with urgency where time-sensitive injunctions or judicial reviews are necessary.

Focused on Resolution, Protecting What Matters Most

Divorce is a major life event — emotionally and legally. We provide clear, informed legal advice to clients going through marriage breakdowns, guiding them through every stage of the process.

Whether your separation is amicable or contested, we act with discretion, determination, and a deep understanding of what’s at stake — from family relationships to financial futures.

We assist with:

Initiating or responding to divorce proceedings
Negotiating and drafting separation agreements
Division of assets, including property, pensions, and business interests
Spousal maintenance and ongoing financial arrangements
Guardianship, custody, and child access rights
Parenting agreements and dispute resolution
Mediation and collaborative law, where suitable

Our approach is practical and respectful. We aim to resolve matters through negotiation or mediation wherever possible — reducing conflict and costs — but are also fully prepared to litigate robustly when required. With experience across the District, Circuit and High Courts, we ensure your case is properly managed, and your position firmly represented.

We know that no two families — or divorces — are the same. We take time to listen, to understand your priorities, and to help you build a secure future.
