The employment team is led by Aoife Hennessy, a partner in Sweeney McGann LLP, who has more than 22 years of experience across employment law and litigation and dispute resolution. It was Hennessy’s exemplary record in client services and track record on complex employment issues that saw her recognised with the award for Munster Employment Lawyer of the Year.

Hennessy said the awards were a testament to the high standard of work carried out by the entire team at Sweeney McGann LLP and their commitment to always building on client offerings. She said: “The key ethos to Sweeney McGann’s ongoing success is that we continuously strive towards our goals and work together to deliver the best service and support for our clients – whether they are individuals, businesses or organisations.” Hennessy, alongside Jane O’Connor, heads up the litigation team, which has been involved in numerous complex and high-profile cases – their success in which was reflected in winning the award for Munster Civil Litigation Law Firm of the Year.
