Ray Kelliher and Aoife Sheehy have been promoted to partner in the Clark Hill Dublin office.

UL graduate Kelliher will join the bankruptcy team. He joined Clark Hill when it merged with O'Gradys in 2019.

UCC graduate Sheehy will work in the real-estate-services team.

Chief executive John Hensien said: “We're delighted to announce the advancement of this fantastic group of attorneys to Clark Hill's membership.

"They have delivered tremendous client service while staying true to our core values. We look forward to continued success and leadership from this class of attorneys.”

'Membership' is the Clark Hill equivalent of 'partner' in Irish terms.
