Cork-based commercial-law firm O’Flynn Exhams LLP has appointed Micheál Ó Mulláin as the firm’s managing partner.
Ó Mulláin, who takes over the role from Shane Crossan, will also continue to head up the firm’s real estate, banking, and finance team.
The Blarney native graduated with a law degree from University College Cork in 1995, joining O’Flynn Exhams LLP in 1999.
A registered tax consultant and multilinguist, Ó Mulláin is qualified as a lawyer in Ireland, the North, and England and Wales.
He described his appointment as “an honour and a privilege” and thanked his predecessor Shane Crossan for expanding the firm in “a measured and professional manner”.
“The firm is currently in an expansionary phase, with the announcement of a number of new appointments imminent and a robust internship and traineeship programme in place,” the new managing partner said.
“The firm currently has six trainees and will be increasing that number throughout 2026 with a view to developing talent that has the firm’s client-focused culture ingrained from the outset of their careers,” he added.
Shane Crossan said that Ó Mulláin brought “a wealth of knowledge and experience to the role”, as well as deep connections to the business community in Ireland and further afield.
