Triona Sugrue joins Hayes as partner
Hayes Solicitors LLP has appointed Triona Sugrue as partner in its employment-law team.
The firm says that the appointment further strengthens what it describes as one of its fastest-growing practice areas.
Sugrue has significant experience representing parties in employment disputes before the Workplace Relations Commission, the Labour Court, and the civil courts, as well as advising on complex workplace and employment-law issues.
She also lectures in employment law at the Law Society and regularly contributes to publications on employment-law developments.
Complex litigation
Hayes says that its employment-law practice, led by Anne Lyne, has expanded significantly in recent years, with new mandates from major Irish and multinational businesses.
This has been accompanied, the firm adds, by continued growth in complex employment litigation, workplace investigations, restructurings, collective redundancies, TUPE (transfer of employment), whistleblowing, equality and discrimination matters, and strategic employment advisory work.
Sugrue’s arrival follows the promotion of Catherine Jane O’Rourke to employment-law partner earlier this year.
Joe O’Malley (managing partner, Hayes Solicitors LLP) described Sugrue as “a highly experienced and respected employment lawyer, whose expertise will be a significant addition to the firm”.
