We welcome the delivery of a significant High Court costs judgment by Ms. Justice Egan in Murphy v Butler & Ors [2026] IEHC 421, a decision of particular importance to practitioners in contentious probate litigation. Our Head of Litigation, Sinead O’Boyle, acted for the Plaintiff in proceedings which resulted in three substantial judgments. The ruling provides important clarity on costs principles and reinforces the need for reasonable engagement and early settlement in probate disputes.

We are pleased to announce that our firm acted for the sellers of Expert Hardware Limited in connection with the successful sale of the company to United Hardware DAC, which trades under the well-known Homevalue brand.

We are thrilled to announce that Sinead O' Boyle has been appointed as Head of Litigation at Denis McSweeney Solicitors LLP.

We are thrilled to announce that Denis McSweeney Solicitors LLP has officially joined The Law Firm Network (LFN) — a prestigious non-exclusive association of independent law firms with a presence in over 50 countries worldwide.

We are very pleased to have successfully acted for the plaintiff in a recent High Court case, Peter Murphy v Butler & Ors (2025) IEHC 636, adversarial litigation between rival beneficiaries over the construction of a will of a bachelor farmer uncle who died without issue.

Our Corporate Team acted for JSBCA Limited in the sale of insurance intermediary business, Low.ie.

We are proud to have acted in the sale of long-standing client, Unitherm Heating Systems, to the Purmo Group. 

New practice direction sets out additional requirements for practitioners seeking a hearing date for a witness action in the non jury list.

Corporate re-organisations or restructurings are undertaken for a variety of reasons.  The benefits can be considerable.  In some cases, however, difficulties can arise.  Such problems can, in the vast majority of cases, be avoided where time allows.  Therefore, considering potential issues at an early stage and planning accordingly can prove invaluable.
