Matheson combines energy and construction teams
Matheson LLP has formed an expanded practice group covering energy, infrastructure, and construction (EIC).
The firm says that the new group brings together its energy, natural resources, utilities, projects, infrastructure, construction, and engineering practice areas into a single, dedicated group.
Led by partner Garret Farrelly, the EIC group comprises two specialist teams:
- Energy, natural resources, and utilities, and
- Infrastructure and construction.
Farrelly works alongside partner Owen Collins on energy, natural resources, and utilities, while infrastructure and construction is led by partner, Conor Blennerhassett and has recently been strengthened by the appointment of partner Mary Liz Mahony.
‘Sustained growth’
The combined group will advise on the development, operation, financing, purchase, sale, and regulatory aspects of large-scale energy, infrastructure, and construction projects.
Matheson managing partner Darren Maher said that Ireland’s energy, infrastructure, and construction sectors were experiencing sustained growth, driven by offshore wind, data-centre investment, major public infrastructure programmes, and unprecedented demand for housing delivery.
“In response, we have established the largest dedicated team of its kind in the Irish market, ensuring our clients receive fully integrated advice from a team that has built real expertise across all stages of these projects,” he stated.
The EIC group comprises a core team of 16 lawyers led by four partners.
