SPONSORS

Dye & Durham is honoured to be sponsoring this year’s Irish Law Awards celebrating the very best of Ireland’s legal industry.

But you may well ask yourself: What’s Dye & Durham? Who are they and where did they come from?

You’ll be happy to know that you are already, in fact, well familiar with Dye & Durham! That’s because successful Irish legal services firms Keyhouse, Rochford Brady, Brady & Co. and Hibernian Legal have all joined the Dye & Durham family.

At this critical moment in the digital revolution, these respected Irish firms wanted to ensure their clients could access the most cutting-edge and secure cloud technology in the world from a global leader in the field — and that’s Dye & Durham.

As the former CEO of Keyhouse, and now Director at Dye & Durham, I spent 30 years dedicated to providing technology to Ireland’s legal profession aimed at improving their working lives and making their legal practices stronger and more successful. The leaders at Dye & Durham, Rochford Brady, Brady & Co. and Hibernian Legal share my dedication.

We’re all committed to stellar customer service and state-of-the-art solutions. Coming together under the Dye & Durham umbrella ensures we can take our commitment to first-class service, unparalleled domain expertise and airtight reliability to the next level. Nothing has changed for the Irish clients of these legacy firms — they deal with the same trusted people who know them and their practices so well. What has changed? The future is even brighter for these clients.

That’s because Dye & Durham’s services and software are constantly evolving to meet the changing needs of the legal services market. Its third-party systems include search facilities, AML, quote conversion and onboarding applications and compliant modules. Dye & Durham offerings also protect the reputation of law firms by safeguarding their clients’ funds from cyber criminals and fraud.

Why did Dye & Durham invest in Irish legal services companies? Because they share the same deep understanding of what law firms need as they embark upon or expand their digitisation journey. The Dye & Durham team also has highly experienced people on the ground in Ireland helping law firms every step of the way.

These strengths and commitments are central to Dye & Durham’s mission, and they now form the backbone of the company’s operations in Ireland thanks to the impressive legacies of these esteemed Irish brands.

This proud heritage comes from a combined experience of more than 100 years serving the Irish legal profession.

Dye & Durham’s vision for Irish law firms is now a reality with the consolidation of these established and trusted Irish brands.

Tonight, we’re honouring Ireland’s legal profession for their hard work and their positive impact on so many segments of society. We wish all of you the best of luck tonight!

Fáilte chuig Searmanas Bronnta Ghradaim Dhlí na hÉireann dhá mhile is a fiche trí a thugann aitheantas dó agus a cheiliúrann feabhas i gcleachtadh dlíthiúil le bliain anuas.

Welcome to the Awards Ceremony for the Irish Law Awards 2023 recognising and celebrating excellence in legal practise over the past year.

Tonight, we welcome friends, colleagues, finalists, provincial winners, and national winners, to acclaim undoubted excellence in legal practice. Every finalist is already a success story; every winner a worthy exemplar.

No one present tonight needs reminding of the value to our fellow citizens of an independent legal profession replete with dedicated, competent, and energetic practitioners. It was not for awards that any one of us became involved in the legal profession. It is nonetheless fitting that we take an opportunity to fete those who have been nominated as finalists and appreciate the goodness in ourselves.

While the response to the pandemic wrought a generational shift in technology, communications, and geographic flexibility, this appears to have been accompanied by evermore demanding workloads, and a good work-life balance proving even more elusive for many. The Awards Ceremony is an opportunity to relax in a convivial atmosphere, to celebrate all that is good within the legal profession in Ireland.

An event such as this does not happen by magic, but instead by the hard work and determination of many people. I thank my fellow judging panel members, who already shorn of spare time, gave their time with grace and generosity. I also thank the sponsors Dye & Durham, Ireland’s BlueBook, Brewin Dolphin, LEAP, LegalBooks.ie, Gwen Malone Stenography Services and The Business Post Finally, I thank Diarmaid Lennon, Jill Thornton, and all of the stellar team at Ashville Media Group for organising the Irish Law Awards 2023.
