Ogier's nearly 90-strong team, led by 14 partners, continues to develop its offering in Ireland with a growth plan that deepens the firm's thriving domestic capabilities and diversifies and extends its services to meet international and domestic client demand.
The original firm, Leman Solicitors, was established in 2007 by partners John Hogan and Larry Fenelon with particular strengths in corporate, real estate, employment, financial services, dispute resolution and restructuring for Ireland-based clients.
