Who Am I?

I am a human rights advocate with a broad range of interests. In recent years I have completed  Master's Degree studies in the fields of  International Tax Law, Copyright Law, Corporate Governance, White Collar Crime, International Commercial Arbitration, and International Finance Law at UCD Sutherland School of Law. Much of my studies focussed on the impact of corporate and international law on human rights, such as Tax Havens, Offshoring, and the impact of White Collar Crime on shareholders and citizens.

I have worked in a variety of fields throughout the legal sector. To name but a few: I spent over a year working with asylum seekers where I, quite successfully, brought clients through the International Protection Appeals Tribunal process on behalf of KOD Lyons Solicitors. I have worked with PILA, the Public Interest Law Alliance - a project of FLAC, where I assisted in the facilitation of pro-bono referrals between civil society organisations and pro-bono lawyers. I have worked as a Personal Reader, Researcher and Thesis Editor for a Ph.D. Doctoral student with a severe visual impairment. I have had a soujourn in the field of Funds Law at Dillon Eustace LLP, and most recently I have completed a contract with the Irish Medical Council where I provided a split role between Council Governance and Risk & Compliance. I have drafted numerous Equality & Human Rights policies and Standard Operating Procedures also, leading to more statutorily compliant organisations.

In my spare time I provide Grinds to Law Students. I also work with self-representing litigants, in a non-legal capacity, to help them prepare their documents for civil court. I provide WRC representation services where time permits and I assist international protection applicants with completing their applications.  

I chose to study law at Honours level as I grew more and more intrigued by the way the world around me truly worked. As part of my LL.B. Degree, I completed studies in: Constitutional Law, Criminal Law, The Irish Legal System, Legal Research & Communications, Legal Practice & Procedure, Tort Law, Employment Law, Media Law & the Digital Environment, Contract law, Evidence, Equity & Trusts Law, Consumer Protection and Personal Insolvency Law, European Union Law, Company Law, and Land Law & Succession. I have also recently completed additional studies in the fields of Jurisprudence and Administrative Law.

I began this initiative as way of filling the hours during the initial Covid-19 lockdown and before long I became immersed in the process. I have thoroughly enjoyed the research involved and it has benefited me enormously, both in my studies and as a means of retaining some degree of sanity during lockdown.

I hope you can derive some benefit from the information on this site and I wish you the very best of health and happiness.
