Callan Tansey Solicitors LLP has appointed Orlagh Sharkey (pictured) as a partner, and as head of its family-law department.

Sharkey qualified as a solicitor in 2009, during which time she also completed a Graduate Diploma in Family Law with the Law Society of Ireland.

She is also an accredited mediator, having completed her studies in alternative dispute-resolution with Friary Law.
