Since 1948 we’ve established ourselves as one of Northern Ireland’s top law firms. Our success can be attributed to working with a strong set of principles at our core and a determined focus to get the best result for our clients. We trust our team to apply their expertise to any problem while always being open to investigating alternative routes to find the best resolution.

Ask our clients for feedback on what it’s like working with us and a few themes quickly emerge. We put the client first, we enjoy what we do and it shows, we’re easy to deal with and we’re open to new ideas. To us, that is doing things differently and making sure our clients achieve a better result.
