A NEW adjunct professor of practice has been appointed at one Limerick law school.
Stephen Keogh, a practicing solicitor and managing partner of MHP Sellors Solicitors, a law firm that employs over 50 people at its Limerick and Ennis offices, has taken up the role at the University of Limerick’s (UL) School of Law.
Mr Keogh brings a wealth of experience and expertise in legal practice in Ireland, making him a valuable addition to UL’s School of Law and its academic community. 
Welcoming Mr Keogh, the head of the School of Law Professor Lucy-Ann Buckley said: “UL School of Law’s adjunct Professor positions are designed to ensure the appointment of distinguished individuals who have made or have the potential to make significant contributions to the University.   
“I am delighted to welcome Mr Keogh to the School of Law. He is eminent and distinguished in legal practice and he will make a tremendous tangible contribution to the School of Law and UL, inspiring our students as a role model through his leadership.
“I look forward to working with Mr Keogh in the coming years.”
Mr Keogh’s appointment will support the School of Law’s aim of providing students with access to the highest level of professional, in-practice expertise and will specifically contribute to the enhancement of their applied learning experience.
He has extensive specialist legal experience in advising a broad range of companies and public sector bodies across different sectors in high-value commercial transactions and complex commercial disputes. He regularly advises Boards of Directors and shareholders on corporate governance matters, directors’ duties and employment matters.
A member of the Board of the Charities Regulatory Authority in Ireland, Mr Keogh was appointed by the Minister for Rural and Community Development. Reflecting his combined legal and commercial expertise, he served as President of the Shannon Chamber of Commerce from 2020 to 2022, and he was a member of the Clare Economic Taskforce during the same period.
Holding a BBS (Accounting and Finance) from Trinity College Dublin, a Postgraduate Diploma in Law from the Technological University of Dublin and a Diploma in Commercial Litigation from the Law Society of Ireland, Stephen builds upon his prior engagement with UL’s School of Law through his contributions to the Law and Technology Professional Diploma. 
MHP Sellors also facilitates students from the LLM course in International Commercial Law, in addition to a much sought after traineeship programme, and his appointment will further strengthen the relationship between the School of Law and MHP Sellors.
