A Derry Firm.
Built on Trust.
Founded in 1998 by Pádraig Harkin, we started as a single-solicitor practice in the Fountain Street area. Today we are a team of six qualified solicitors and four support staff, handling hundreds of cases each year.
Our clients range from first-time buyers nervously signing their first mortgage, to business owners defending employment tribunal claims, to elderly clients ensuring their affairs are in order. Each one receives the same level of attention and care.
We are proud members of the Law Society of Northern Ireland and regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority.
Clarity
We communicate in plain English. No unnecessary legal jargon — just clear, honest advice.
Integrity
We tell you what you need to hear, not just what you want to hear. Your best interests always come first.
Commitment
We see every case through. From your first consultation to final resolution, we're with you every step.
