The firm’s specialist insolvency and debt recovery team is led by director David McAlinden alongside solicitor Ruairi Maguire, with support from Niamh Murphy, Laura McGuckin and Chelsea Burrows.

The team won the ‘Innovation in Practise’ award at the 2023 Insolvency Practitioner Association (IPA) Awards in recognition of its ongoing successes in developing bespoke automated legal software.

The team was also “highly commended” in the award for ‘Legal Provider of the Year’ at the British Credit Awards in acknowledgment of its investment in technology, client care and high-volume debt recovery processes.

Solicitor Ruairi Maguire, who qualified as a solicitor in September 2021, was selected as finalist for ‘Rising Star of the Year’ at both the British Credit Awards and IPA Awards.

Mr McAlinden said: “We are delighted to be recognised alongside such notable national firms and individuals in both the British Credit and IPA Awards and are honoured to be the only law firm from Northern Ireland to have been shortlisted as finalists.

“These awards further demonstrate the dedication and hard work of our team combined with the support of our loyal client base.”
