“We engaged Dominic Conlon and his colleagues on the corporate team from Ogier Leman to advise on and lead the legal elements of our €100m equity capital investment in Aqua Comms Limited, the Dublin based provider of subsea capacity-based network solutions. Dominic’s work ethic, experience, and collaborative spirit helped all sides to close the transaction quickly as promptness was an important element of the deal.”

''The team at Leman came highly recommended to us. We first worked with them on an EIIS funding round where their involvement was very professional and proactive. We found it very easy conversing and working with them, their plain English policy was a breath of fresh air. They were always available at a moment's notice for advice or to discuss matters. 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. When dealing with corporate matters, their team have demonstrated a really high level of experience and competency. We are very happy to recommend them and we will continue to use their legal services in the future.''

His advice is always succinct yet his attention to detail is second to none. Dominic and his team deliver great commercially realistic advice without letting ego’s get in the way.

“Emirates began working with Lemans a number of years ago, initially on a specific property issue, however they have now become the go-to firm for all our legal requirements in the Irish Market. Dealing initially with John and Sarah, we also work closely with Bláthnaid, Sheila and Marianne, all of whom are a joy to deal with. Highly professional but also highly approachable and good humoured, the Lemans team are always incredibly attentive, knowledgeable and engaged and any issues that we have are always carefully and thoughtfully considered and their advice and good counsel has always been extremely helpful. There is a clear customer centric ethos within the firm and this is something we at Emirates especially recognise and greatly appreciate.”

"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.

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.
