‘Robust demand’ lifts MHC turnover by 8%
Business-law firm Mason Hayes & Curran (MHC) has reported turnover of €131.5 million for last year – an 8% increase on the previous year.
The firm says that the result reflects “robust demand” for specialist legal advice, citing continuing regulatory shifts, an “increasingly volatile” business environment, and complex cross-border activity.
Managing partner Will Carmody said that businesses were operating under greater regulatory scrutiny while still pursuing growth and investment.
“We are seeing sustained demand for specialist judgement where regulatory risk and commercial outcomes are closely linked. Areas of particular focus included technology and financial-services regulation, along with infrastructure development,” he stated.
‘Sustainable’ growth
Carmody was re-appointed managing partner for a second term from 1 January, with a mandate to further deepen specialist expertise and enhance client service through talent acquisition and technology.
Total staff numbers at MHC increased by 8% – including three lateral partner hires, three internal partner promotions, and seven ‘of counsel’ promotions during the year.
The firm now employs 670 people across offices in Dublin, London, New York, and San Francisco.
Carmody said the firm’s focus in the year ahead would remain on maintaining an exceptionally high quality of legal advice.
“Our priority is on growth that is strategic and sustainable, supported by deep expertise and consistently excellent client service,” he said.
