Leman Solicitors

What Leman Solicitors does

Leman Solicitors LLP was a Dublin-based commercial law firm founded in 2007, with strengths in corporate, real estate, employment, financial services, dispute resolution, and restructuring for Irish-based clients. In March 2022, the firm merged with Ogier, an international law and fiduciary services group, and now operates as Ogier in Ireland from Percy Exchange, Ballsbridge, Dublin 4, with approximately 100 staff in Ireland. The combined firm delivers full-service commercial legal advice across Banking and Finance, Corporate, Dispute Resolution, Investment Funds, Employment and Immigration, Private Wealth, Regulatory, Restructuring and Insolvency, Tax, and Property law — including emerging practice areas such as Technology and Web3, Sustainable Finance, and Crypto Disputes.

The firm's revenue model is traditional professional services: partner-led engagement with enterprise and high-net-worth clients, quote-based pricing tied to matter complexity, and fees billed across multiple practice areas. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales, targeting Fortune 500 companies, Ireland's Top 100 companies, leading technology providers, professional service firms, and real estate businesses. Distribution is direct through partner relationships, with no disclosed third-party channel or reseller model. The Ogier platform adds a corporate and fiduciary administration layer (Ogier Global) offering fund administration, accounting, investor services, debt capital markets, and regulatory compliance, supplemented by the Ogier Connect digital platform, eDiscovery services, and Ogier e-Learning compliance training.

Founded by partners including John Hogan — now managing partner of Ogier in Ireland — the firm has earned repeated Great Place to Work Ireland recognition (eight consecutive years through 2025) and is ranked across practice areas in IFLR1000, Chambers Europe, and Legal 500 EMEA. Strategic institutional relationships with IDA Ireland and the Central Bank of Ireland support foreign direct investment and financial services regulatory mandates. No revenue, headcount trend, or AI capability disclosures are present in the source material.
