The award was presented at a gala dinner which took place earlier this month in the Shelbourne Hotel, Dublin.

Now in its 12th year, the Annual Irish Pensions Awards celebrates excellence, professionalism and dedication within the Irish pensions space.

Organised by European Pensions, the awards recognise Irish pension funds, pension providers, advisers, law firms and pension professionals who strive to maintain the highest standards of excellence and professionalism.

ByrneWallace managing partner Feargal Brennan said: “We are delighted and honoured to be awarded Irish Pensions Law Firm of the Year. This prestigious award is a testament to the excellent advice and client service provided by our pensions law team.”

Liam Connellan, partner and head of the pensions team, added: “The pensions industry is experiencing a period of significant change following the transposition of the IORPs II Directive into Irish law, and as a Legal 500 Tier 1 practice for Pensions and Employee Benefits, this award once again recognises our preeminent position at the forefront of the pensions industry.”
