Quiet counselfor cases that matter.
A Dublin firm specialising in medical negligence, birth injury, and serious personal injury claims. We take fewer cases & work them harder — for clients whose lives have been altered, not inconvenienced.
§ 01 — What we do
A small practice. Four deliberate specialisms.
Most firms take whatever walks through the door. We don't. Our work is confined to four areas where experience compounds — and where the difference between an adequate solicitor and an excellent one is measured in years of recovery, or none at all.
-
Medical Negligence
Clinical error, delayed or missed diagnosis, surgical and obstetric claims. We act for patients injured by substandard care in Irish hospitals, GP practices and private clinics — with a clinically-experienced solicitor on every file from day one.
Misdiagnosis · Surgical error · Cancer claims · GP negligence · Hospital-acquired injury

Birth Injury
Catastrophic obstetric and neonatal claims, including cerebral palsy and Erb's palsy actions. The most demanding work we do, requiring multi-disciplinary expert teams and care-needs analysis spanning a lifetime.
Cerebral palsy · Brachial plexus · Hypoxic injury · Maternal injury · Stillbirth

Serious Personal Injury
Road-traffic, workplace and public-liability claims involving lasting injury. Complex matters where long-term care, loss of earnings or altered capacity are in play. Senior counsel engaged early, never as an afterthought.
Traumatic brain injury · Spinal injury · Industrial accidents · Fatal injury · Catastrophic loss

Inquests & Fatal Injury
Representing families at inquests and in subsequent civil action. We guide bereaved clients through the coronial process with care for the particular sensitivities involved — and with the readiness to litigate where neglect is found.
Coroner's court · Article 2 inquests · Healthcare fatalities · Fatal-injury actions

-
The first call
Thirty minutes, by phone or in person. No charge, no obligation. We listen, ask questions, and tell you whether your matter is one we can help with or one better placed elsewhere.
-
Honest assessment
Within ten working days, a written assessment from the partner who would handle your case. Strengths, weaknesses, likely timeline, fee structure — in plain English, on one or two pages.
-
Proceeding to action
Expert evidence commissioned, particulars of claim drafted, senior counsel engaged where appropriate. You receive monthly updates and a direct line to the solicitor on your file.
-
Settlement or trial
The majority of our cases settle before trial. We prepare every one as if it will go to court — which is what drives a settlement worth taking. If trial is required, we are ready.
