Specialist litigation law firm Watson Legal has announced its official launch in Athlone, Co Westmeath.
The new firm aims to bring first-rate litigation and dispute-resolution services to individuals and businesses throughout the Midlands and Ireland.
It provides legal advice and representation across a broad range of disputes, including defamation and privacy (GDPR) matters, personal injury claims, employment and workplace disputes, contract and commercial disputes, debt recovery, and other complex litigation work.
The firm represents clients in the District, Circuit, and High Courts, as well as in arbitration and mediation settings.
Founder Sarah Watson said: “At Watson Legal, our focus is on delivering strategic, client-centred advocacy in all forms of litigation.
“We understand that disputes can be stressful and costly. Our mission is to provide responsive legal representation that protects our clients’ interests — from early case assessment and negotiation through to courtroom advocacy where necessary.”
Watson Legal said its approach combines early assessment and alternative dispute resolution (ADR) strategies with robust advocacy when court proceedings are required.
With experience in navigating complex litigation and an emphasis on practical solutions, the firm aims to achieve outcomes that are both cost-effective and aligned with clients’ goals.
Ms Watson added: “We prioritise transparent communication and personalised strategies.
“Clients value our willingness to explore early settlement opportunities, but they also trust us to stand prepared and decisive in formal legal proceedings.”
