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.

Nationwide Coverage
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.
