Law Society of Ireland team wins cross-border competition
The Law Society of Ireland congratulates the winners of the 2023 Michael Peart Challenge Cup. Trainee solicitor Steven Scanlan, RDJ, Cork, and his teammates from Arthur Cox LLP, Dublin, Andrea Whelton, Niamh Ferry, and Sarah Courtney, represented the Law Society at the competition in Belfast. The Law Society team was presented with the cup on 11 May 2023.
This cross-border competition is a collaboration between the Law Society of Ireland and the Institute of Professional Legal Studies (IPLS) at Queens University Belfast. The competition promotes the value of resolving disputes through mediation, and is designed to help trainee solicitors from both institutions to develop their mediation skills in tandem with receiving feedback from expert practitioners.
