The key objective of Reilly & Co is not to be "all things to all men” and on that basis, we offer our clients the same expertise and niche service found within the Commercial Department of a medium or large sized law firm, but without all the formality and high expense that goes with it.
This objective has been achieved by our business structure, our transparent approach to fees (we can agree them up front) and having the experience to identify key legal and commercial issues quickly and efficiently (you will never be given junior staff), and to provide practical solutions delivered in plain and simple English.
In addition, if you have a query that relates to our non-core legal areas, rest assured that at Reilly & Co we have a trusted network of outside sources both in and outside Ireland that we can introduce you to and who share our philosophy on service and fees.
David Reilly - Brief Intro to Reilly & Co, Solicitors
"A very warm welcome to the Reilly & Co website.
I am originally from West Cork, and having trained and worked at large and medium sized law firms both in the UK and Ireland as a commercial solicitor for over a decade, I can now give my clients the benefit of that hard-won experience.
Our goal is to grow with our clients and give them the full attention that they deserve without the billable minute getting in the way. I believe that the reasons our clients come back to us time and time again are because we truly engage with their business goals, we offer quality advice, a value for money service and a less formal style which sets us apart from the more traditional law firms.
Please see our Testimonials Page which is a cross section of our growing client base and which speaks volumes for the quality and depth of the service that we offer at this firm".
