ALG expands in Belfast with six new solicitors

A&L Goodbody (ALG) has further expanded its team in the North by appointing six newly qualified solicitors.

This brings the total working in its Belfast office to over 140 lawyers and business-services professionals.

Catherine Sheppard, Holly Emerson, Holly Molloy, Luca StClair, Martyn Doherty and Niall O’Hare have all completed ALG’s trainee-solicitor programme in Belfast.

‘Continued growth’ in Belfast

Doherty and O’Hare join ALG’s litigation department, while Emerson will strengthen its property team.

Sheppard and StClair take up roles within the corporate team, with Molloy joining banking.

ALG says that their transition into qualified roles supports the continued growth and development of the Belfast office.

Shirley Blair (of counsel, ALG) said that the newly qualified solicitors brought “exceptional capability, fresh perspectives, and real ambition” to their practice areas.
