A new all-Ireland law firm, McKenna Maye Legal, launched today offering bespoke legal support to private clients and businesses across the island of Ireland.
The firm, founded by Eoghan McKenna and Gerard Maye, brings together decades of experience in high-stakes criminal defence, fraud, and regulatory investigations. With a focus on early legal intervention, reputational protection, and cross-border insight, McKenna Maye aims to provide trusted guidance to individuals and businesses when it matters most.
“We act quickly and with purpose—because the first steps often shape the outcome,” says Eoghan McKenna. “Whether someone is facing investigation or simply needs trusted advice, we offer a calm, confidential space to take control before matters escalate.”
McKenna Maye positions itself as the first private client law firm to offer truly integrated legal support across Northern Ireland, the Republic of Ireland, and—where necessary—into England and Wales. Eoghan McKenna is dual-qualified in both Irish jurisdictions and is the current Chair of the Law Society NI Criminal Committee, while Gerard Maye has built a respected defence practice in London and the South East of England, recognised by Chambers UK and Legal 500 for his work in serious fraud and complex investigations.
“Early action can often prevent a public trial, reduce costs, and protect a client’s name,” says Gerard Maye. “We’re here to support not just the legal case, but the wider human and reputational pressures that come with it.”
Clients include professionals, families, company directors and high-net-worth individuals navigating crisis, scrutiny, or regulatory exposure. The firm emphasises discretion, clarity and empathy in its approach—offering not just legal advice, but reassurance at times of uncertainty.
The new brand has been carefully developed to reflect the changing nature of legal services across Ireland. Designed to feel confident yet approachable, McKenna Maye Legal sets itself apart with a focus on personalised support, clear communication, and seamless representation across borders. It speaks directly to clients who need strong legal expertise—delivered with humanity and focus—at pivotal moments in their lives.
With strong roots in Belfast, Dublin Tyrone and London, McKenna Maye Legal reflects a growing demand for seamless, cross-border legal support—delivered with strategic insight and personal understanding.
