Conor Linehan SC to join Clark Hill in Dublin
Clark Hill in Dublin has said that Conor Linehan SC will join to lead its environmental and natural resources team.
Linehan brings more than twenty-five years of experience in environmental law to Clark Hill.
Lenihan works with a wide range of public and private sector clients to provide environmental due diligence during mergers and acquisitions, support in environmental litigation, and regulatory counsel.
Linehan’s arrival enhances further the Clark Hill offering in key infrastructural areas such as maritime, aviation, light rail and telecommunications, data storage and offshore energy.
“This is a very exciting opportunity for me as Clark Hill’s presence in Ireland has proven to be a true integration of its American and Irish teams,” Conor Linehan said.
“With the firm’s transatlantic team growing, I look forward to working with many American colleagues and servicing clients’ environmental needs.”
Contaminated land issues
Linehan also advises on contaminated land issues and industrial emissions licensing. His practice includes environmental finance and insurance underwriting for environmental risk and liability. Linehan has also provided counsel on climate change issues.
“We’re thrilled to add Conor to our environmental team in Dublin,” said Patrick Larkin of Clark Hill’s environmental and natural resources group.
“He’s been a leader in this space for many years and will be a tremendous asset to our clients investing in Ireland and an important addition to our US team providing counsel on compliance by US companies with EU environmental and related obligations.”
Conor Linehan has previously served as senior vice chair of the International Bar Association’s environment, health, and safety law committee and vice chair of the IBA president’s task force on climate change justice and human rights.
In 2021, Linehan was appointed, on the nomination of the Government, as a senior counsel.
