Sexual Offence Solicitor Ireland

Facing a Sexual Offence Allegation in Ireland?

Specialist Defence Services

Available for immediate advice if you have been contacted by Gardaí, or if you believe an allegation may arise. Early instruction is critical to the outcome of your case.

About Our Practice

Experience You Can Trust

Focused Expertise

Sexual offence allegations require careful, measured legal defence. We specialise in this area of criminal law, allowing us to advise individuals facing allegations with the discretion, precision and steady guidance these cases demand.

Regulated by the Law Society of Ireland, we act at every stage, from the initial Garda contact through to verdict,  prioritising early preparation and the protection of your legal position.

Nationwide Coverage

We act for clients across Ireland. Our primary service areas include Limerick, Cork, Clare, Kerry, Tipperary, Waterford and Galway.

Location should never be a barrier to experienced sexual offence defence representation, and confidential remote consultations are available where needed.

Our Expertise

Our Areas of Support

Sexual offence allegations arise in many different circumstances. Our work focuses on defence in this area of law, allowing us to advise on a wide range of allegations with the appropriate sensitivity and attention to detail.

Rape & Sexual Assault Defence

We represent individuals facing allegations of rape and sexual assault. Our approach is thorough and methodical, examining the prosecution’s evidence, advising on interview procedures and building a structured defence from the earliest possible stage.

Child-Related Offence Allegations

Allegations involving child complainants carry some of the most severe potential consequences in Irish criminal law. We provide experienced, discreet representation in these matters, with a clear understanding of the legislative framework and the procedural protections available to defendants.

Online & Digital Sexual Offences

Allegations arising from digital communications, sharing of images, or online interaction require an understanding of both the law and how electronic evidence is gathered and presented. We advise on the full range of online and technology-related sexual offence charges.

Consent & Exploitation Cases

Allegations involving consent or exploitation often turn on contested accounts with little independent evidence. We examine every element of the prosecution case, including how consent was assessed and whether the investigation followed correct procedures.

Historical Sexual Offence Claims

Defending allegations of events said to have occurred years or decades ago presents distinct challenges, including issues of delay, lost evidence and the reliability of memory.

We have experience in the defence of historic sexual offence cases and understand the specific legal arguments available to defendants in these proceedings.

Workplace & Public Allegations

Allegations arising in professional or public contexts carry particular reputational risks alongside the criminal proceedings themselves.

We provide defence in such matters with discretion, and where appropriate can advise on parallel HR or disciplinary processes that may run alongside criminal proceedings.
