Browne Jacobson expands Irish operations

Browne Jacobson has expanded its Irish operations, introducing real-estate and construction practices and bolstering its corporate team.

This builds upon Browne Jacobson's extensive real-estate and construction expertise in Britain, where the team comprises over 160 legal professionals.

Emma Middleton and Paul Tohill join as legal directors to establish the firm's real-estate and construction practices in Ireland, respectively.

Gavin Bluett joins as a partner in the Irish corporate team, which launched in January 2024 under the leadership of William Darmody and has already advised in several significant Irish and international deals.

There are also two new associates in corporate and litigation, as well as three trainees in the Irish office.

Reach

William Darmody, partner and head of Browne Jacobson's Irish corporate team, added: "Gavin's appointment, based in Galway, also extends our geographical reach within Ireland, enabling us to tap into new markets and better serve clients across the country."

Partner Mike Sadler commented: "This expansion is a direct response to increasing client demand for seamless legal support across both jurisdictions, particularly in complex, high-value transactions and projects."
