Mr Carmody took the reins in January 2023 after over 20 years with the business law firm, at the time leading its financial services practice.

In his first term, he directed investment into the firm’s core sector and industry focus areas, with a particular emphasis on the development and hiring of subject matter specialist lawyers. He also focused on advancing innovation and the use of technology to improve client service and efficiency.

The firm, one of very few in Ireland to report its financial results, reported a seven per cent increase in turnover to €122 million in 2024, and another set of positive results are expected early in the new year.

The past year was marked by “intense legislative and regulatory activity, driving significant demand for specialist legal support”, while infrastructure “remained a central focus as major national projects progressed”, it said.

Mason Hayes & Curran now employs more than 670 people across its Dublin, London, New York and San Francisco offices.

Commenting on his re-election, Mr Carmody said: “Our clients want advice that is clear and aligned with their commercial objectives.

“My priority is to ensure our people have the environment, resources and technology to deliver a high standard of excellent client service, which supports our clients’ business strategies.

“Continued investment in legal technology and innovation is essential to how we support clients and how we run our business.

“I look forward to building on the firm’s recent progress and helping our clients manage the challenges they face navigating an ever-changing legislative and economic backdrop.”
