Wednesday, 3 December 2025, Dublin – Irish law firm Mason Hayes & Curran has re-elected Will Carmody as its Managing Partner for a second term.
The reappointment comes as the firm continues to expand its legal advisory offering and footprint, now employing more than 670 people across its Dublin, London, New York and San Franciso offices.
Will was first appointed Managing Partner in January 2023 after over 20 years with the firm, including leading its Financial Services practice. In his first term, he directed investment into the firm’s core sector and industry focus areas, with a particular emphasis on the development and hiring of subject matter specialist lawyers. He also focused on advancing innovation and the use of technology to improve client service and efficiency.
Turnover for 2024 reached €122 million, a 7% increase supported by renewed investment activity by clients and consistent demand across focus sectors. The year was marked by intense legislative and regulatory activity, driving significant demand for specialist legal support. Infrastructure also remained a central focus as major national projects progressed. The firm anticipates further advancement in 2025, with final financial figures to be issued in the new year. Mason Hayes & Curran was recognised as Irish Law Firm of the Year at The Lawyer European Awards this November, reflecting its strong performance and market position.
Commenting on his re-election, Will said: “Our clients want advice that is clear and aligned with their commercial objectives. My priority is to ensure our people have the environment, resources and technology to deliver a high standard of excellent client service, which supports our clients’ business strategies. Continued investment in legal technology and innovation is essential to how we support clients and how we run our business. I look forward to building on the firm’s recent progress and helping our clients manage the challenges they face navigating an ever-changing legislative and economic backdrop.”
Will also leads the firm’s corporate social responsibility strategy, which includes a commitment to invest up to 1% of annual turnover in its core CSR pillars. This year, the firm launched the €1.5 million Connected Communities Fund, in partnership with Rethink Ireland and the Department of Rural & Community Development, to support organisations that strengthen community ties, promote inclusion and support marginalised groups across Ireland.
