Mr Cunneen joins its litigation team as partner. With over 25 years of post qualification experience, he has built his practice across some of the most complex disputes work in the Irish market. His expertise spans regulatory investigations, commercial and IP litigation, aviation and procurement disputes, banking, tax, construction, insolvency and professional indemnity matters.

Ms Hantash joins the corporate team having qualified as a solicitor earlier this year. Her early experience covers M&A transactions and general commercial matters, and she also brings additional experience from the Court of Justice of the European Union.

Brian O’Neill, managing partner of Gore & Grimes Solicitors, said: “Eoin’s arrival is a testimony to the ambition and success of our very strong litigation and dispute resolution practice headed by Liam Collins. Eoin reflects the calibre of senior practitioners we want at the heart of the firm, providing strategic advice and commercial solutions for our clients. He is widely regarded as one of the most respected litigators of his generation in Ireland. Together with Sara’s appointment to our corporate team, we are continuing to grow those areas in response to our clients’ demands.”

Mr Cunneen added: “Gore & Grimes has built a strong reputation for the breadth and quality of its disputes work and it is a firm with real ambition. I am delighted to be joining at such an exciting time for the firm and looking forward to contributing to the continued growth and excellent service offering of the litigation and dispute resolution department.”
