Our Clients & Testimonials

From initial instruction to settlement took less than 8 weeks with an extremely favourable result. Elaine White was pragmatic and commercial with excellent attention to detail and very easy to deal with.”

As a small company, we are used to moving quickly and the team at Leman operate in this manner too. They consistently delivered rapid feedback and quick turnarounds.

"Larry Fenelon and all the Leman team are decisive and they deliver. All aspects of the case are made clear from the outset to include the likely outcome, costs and timescale involved. Once engaged, they work quickly and efficiently to achieve the desired objective. Larry is very accessible and remains hands on throughout the legal process.
He is reassuring to his client, particularly over the tough decisions. I found his assistance invaluable when supporting me as Group CEO of bb's in keeping the other key bb's stakeholders fully informed throughout the case.

Having worked with numerous lawyers over my career both in Ireland and the UK, Larry and the Leman team are without doubt the best I have worked with - I have no hesitation in recommending them!”

“Ardstone have worked with the Leman Real Estate team on a series of acquisitions and asset management projects in recent years. Our transactions require commercial strategic legal advice and fast, technical execution. Our deals are often complex and time pressured and we need our legal advisors to work very closely with us. We have been delighted with the practical, speedy and client focussed approach from the Ogier Leman team. Delighted to recommend them.”

Our company is expanding its business in Ireland. In order to make sure we fulfill all legal obligations as a new Irish employer, Leman advised us on how to create an employment contract and other employer aspects. Bláthnaid Evans was very friendly, quick in her service, and flexible to meet our needs. Also, the other employees of Leman were very service orientated and efficient. It feels good to have such a knowledgeable and customer orientated partner in Ireland to make sure we are doing the right thing. I’m sure we will make more use of their services towards the future.

The team in Leman approach all issues in an expedient manner and add value with a problem-solving approach.

Larry Fenelon and Elaine White successfully concluded an assignment for us, Lemans had been recommended to us and they did not disappoint. They approached the assignment with a good strategic plan, were responsive to our requirements, set out plausible outcomes and managed our expectations. There was a real sense of being part of a team while working on this assignment.
