Ann Nowlan joined the firm in 1998 after initially working in Dublin where she specialised mainly in Commercial Law and Conveyancing.

Over the last number of years she has established herself as a specialist in the areas of Medical Negligence and Family Law. “Both these areas require a great deal of understanding and patience”, she says. Clients are often very upset and distressed at what has occurred. It is essential that they are dealt with not only in a professional and competent manner but also in a caring and understanding fashion”.
