Albina Jordy has joined the firm as a legal assistant. Having qualified as a solicitor, she worked as a junior legal associate. Originally from India, Albina completed an LLM at NUIG, deepening her understanding of Irish law. She is part of the firm’s Limerick-based plaintiff litigation team.

Maria Elizalde has joined the Dublin office as a legal assistant, bringing international legal experience to the plaintiff department. Originally from Argentina, Maria began her legal career specialising in criminal law. She taught law at university level and brings experience in criminal law and commercial law.
