Four new senior associates at Philip Lee

Commercial-law firm Philip Lee LLP has promoted four of its lawyers to become senior associates across its practice areas.

The firm says that the appointments reflect its continued growth and commitment to developing “exceptional talent” across its core sectors.

The four promoted lawyers are:

  • Catriona Walsh (employment and immigration),
  • Abisola Odunayo (corporate and commercial),
  • Kevin Ryan (litigation and dispute resolution), and
  • Max Bail (climate projects).

Last month, Philip Lee appointed four new partners and one ‘of counsel’.

The latest rounds of appointments come after the firm announced a merger with Cork-based BHK Solicitors LLP earlier this year, bringing its partner numbers above 50.
