Disputes, Environmental & Planning, Projects & Infrastructure
Michelle Doyle graduated from University College Dublin (BA) in 1992 and qualified in 1996. She has been a partner in McCann FitzGerald LLP's Disputes Group since 2003. A vastly experienced litigator, she specialises in the risk management of major strategic infrastructure projects and is integrally involved in “proofing” projects from an environmental and planning law perspective, so as to identify any possible weaknesses in the assessment conducted and in the application documents so that they can then be addressed and resolved. Michelle also has extensive experience in large scale litigation (High Court, Court of Appeal and Supreme Court), particularly in the area of planning and environmental law and in successfully defending judicial review challenges to major infrastructure projects. Michelle is a trusted adviser to a number of public and private sector clients and brings her years of litigation experience to bear in respect of applications for development consent (including oral hearings as part of the consent process). She brings a fresh and critical eye to the consent process to ensure that any concerns that a competent authority might raise are considered and any gaps in the process plugged. Michelle is well known for her practical and pragmatic advice and her ability to steer a course through challenging applications for complex projects.
