Experience

Karen represents clients primarily in the area of family law. In 2021, 2022 and again in 2023, Karen won Munster Family Lawyer of the Year at the Irish Law Awards as well as winning overall National Family Lawyer of the Year Award 2023.

Karen’s family law experience focuses on divorce, judicial separation, civil partnership, nullity, surrogacy, custody and access disputes, maintenance and domestic violence disputes in contentious and non-contentious matters.

In addition to Karen’s work in family law, she is a trusted advisor in the area of personal injury in both defence and plaintiff litigation representing parties at all court levels.

Karen is also an Accredited Mediator with the Mediator’s Institute of Ireland (MII). This has further enhanced her skills and she is a firm believer in ‘outside the courtroom’ settlement. Karen will always endeavour to engage with the solicitor acting for the other party to see if a compromise can be reached. Karen’s focus on compromise is inevitably the best solution for clients as they have an element of control over the outcome.

Testimonials

"Karen, I often think of how you handled my case, especially when I would send you an email that would be quite emotional. You would read it or listen to me on a phone call, be very empathetic and understanding, and would then tend to the email professionally without the emotion to the other side. I would highly recommend you. Thank you for all you did for me, I am eternally grateful."

“Thank you for being amazing at your job, and for your kindness. What was such a difficult time in my life, was made so much easier by you. You are the most efficient person that I ever met, but on top of that, you are one of the kindest. The many enraged & distressed calls & emails you took from me and help you gave will never be forgotten. You are amazing and I will always be so grateful to you.”

“Thank you so much to you and your colleagues for all since the time between our first correspondence regarding this matter and now. I cannot thank you enough. You were there for me, to help me, when I needed help most. Your professionalism, knowledge, support and skill proved so important to me. You are all so great at what you do, and I will always feel most grateful to all you have achieved for me.”
