Professional background
My experience in financial regulation involves working on-site with a client (on secondment) assisting with a large scale investigation into breaches of contractual and other regulatory standards.
I joined the firm as a Trainee Solicitor in 2017 before being admitted to the Roll of Solicitors in Ireland in 2020.
