Dye & Durham is proud to sponsor this year’s Irish Law Awards celebrating the finest in Ireland’s legal industry.

As we gather tonight for the prestigious Irish Law Awards, we honour the remarkable achievements of legal professionals across Ireland. For the third consecutive year, Dye & Durham proudly supports this event, recognising the vital role played by solicitor firms and legal experts.

At Dye & Durham, we understand the importance of delivering essential solutions to Irish legal professionals. Our comprehensive products and services cover all aspects of law searching and legal practice management software, driving efficiency and productivity. But beyond technology, we share a commitment to unbeatable customer service—the cornerstone of our success.

By uniting under the Dye & Durham brand, we have become a national leader in legal technology, enhancing our Practice Management solutions and Legal Searches capabilities even further. For the clients of these legacy firms, nothing has changed – they continue to work with the same trusted people who understand them and their practices deeply.

The late Zig Ziglar wisely said, “You don’t build a business—you build people, and then people build the business.”

Tonight, as we celebrate outstanding legal professionals, we recognise that organisations thrive because of their people. Each law firm and in-house legal department here values their teams and recognises the profound impact individuals have on shaping collective success.

To all the law firms, in-house legal departments, and dedicated professionals here tonight, we commend your unwavering commitment and contributions to society. May your dedication and hard work be celebrated, inspiring continued excellence in the legal field.

From all of us at Dye & Durham, we wish you a memorable evening and the very best of luck tonight!

Fáilte chuig an dá mhíle is fiche ceathrú Searmanas Gradaim Dlí na hÉireann a aithníonn agus a cheiliúrann sármhaitheas i gcleachtas dlí le bliain anuas.

Welcome to the Awards Ceremony for the Irish Law Awards 2024 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, Gwen Malone Stenography Services, Clio, Currency Direct, iilex, Irish Legal, LegalBooks.ie, Orokok Travel, VizLegal and The Business Post.

Finally, I thank Diarmaid Lennon, Jill Thornton, and all of the stellar team at Ashville Media Group for organising the Dye and Durham Irish Law Awards 2024.
