A strong result again this year for the Gore & Grimes Real Estate team, with continued recognition in the Legal 500 EMEA 2026 rankings.
Led by partners Keith McConnell and Sally Alford, the team advises developers, investors and lenders across the full lifecycle of property transactions, from site acquisition and development through to leasing and financing. Their work sits at the centre of many significant commercial decisions, often in fast moving and competitive environments.
This year’s client feedback highlights the team’s pragmatic, solutions focused approach and their ability to keep transactions progressing efficiently. Keith McConnell is described as “an absolute expert in his field”, with both he and Sally Alford recognised for their commercial judgement and responsiveness.
There is also strong recognition for the wider team. Robert Simmons is noted for his deep understanding of the Irish property market and his ability to manage transactions seamlessly, while Treasa Minihane is highlighted for her clear, practical advice and efficient delivery.
The team continues to act for established clients such as Park Developments and McGarrell Reilly Group, alongside advising on significant transactions, including acting for Penman Holdings on the acquisition of the Mount Juliet Estate in County Kilkenny.
Clients point to the strength of the team as a whole, with individuals working closely together to deliver consistent, high quality support across a wide range of property matters.
This recognition reflects a team that brings clarity to complex transactions and remains focused on achieving the right outcome for clients.
