Will Carmody takes over as managing partner of lawyers Mason Hayes & Curran (MHC) next month.
The Dublin solicitors’ firm confirmed on Wednesday that Mr Carmody will succeed outgoing managing partner Declan Black on January 1st, 2023.
Mr Carmody has been head of MHC’s financial services department since 2018. He joined the firm 20 years ago.
Mr Black served as managing partner for nine years. During that time MHC doubled in size, making it the Republic’s fourth-largest firm by the number of lawyers. He will continue to deal with clients and remain as dispute resolution partner.
