Areas We Cover

The firm serves businesses across four regions from the office at 20 Harcourt Street, Dublin. These are Dublin, including the city centre, Dublin 2, 4, 6 and 8, Dun Laoghaire, Blackrock and Sandyford; Cork, including Cork City, Douglas, Ballincollig and the wider harbour towns; Limerick and the Mid-West, including Raheen, Castletroy, Shannon and Ennis; and Galway, including Galway City, Parkmore, Ballybrit, Oranmore and Tuam.

No. Every area listed is served from the single office at 20 Harcourt Street, Dublin 2. There are no satellite or branch offices; consultations are arranged remotely or in person by appointment regardless of where the client is based.

Dublin, Cork, Limerick and Galway hold the greatest concentration of commercial activity likely to generate the kind of contract disputes suited to arbitration. That runs from IFSC financial services in Dublin and the pharmaceutical and maritime sectors around Cork Harbour to aircraft leasing in the Shannon Free Zone and the medical device manufacturing corridor east of Galway city.

Enquiries from businesses elsewhere in Ireland are welcome. Under the Arbitration Act 2010, arbitration does not depend on where the parties are based, so a dispute involving a business outside Dublin, Cork, Limerick or Galway can still be considered.

No. The Arbitration Act 2010 applies to any arbitration seated in Ireland regardless of where the parties or the underlying business are based. The seat of the arbitration, not the parties' location, determines the governing procedural law.

Each area page lists the town or district and the sectors most relevant to it. If a specific town is not listed individually, the nearest listed area or the general Areas We Cover overview reflects the same Dublin-based service.

No. The same Arbitration Act 2010 and Mediation Act 2017 framework, and the same office at 20 Harcourt Street, Dublin, serves clients in Dublin, Cork, Limerick and Galway alike. Sector context differs by area, but the underlying service does not.

The Areas We Cover page lists every town and district served. Where a specific location is not listed, an enquiry through the contact form or by email to office@fmsolicitors.com will confirm whether the firm can act.

The area coverage described applies primarily to businesses and individuals acting in a commercial capacity, such as company directors or shareholders, rather than to consumer disputes unrelated to a commercial contract.

The list of areas served may expand as the practice grows. Any business in Ireland considering arbitration, mediation, or a commercial contract dispute is welcome to make an enquiry regardless of whether its area currently appears on this list.
