Pierse Fitzgibbon Solicitors

What Pierse Fitzgibbon Solicitors does

Pierse Fitzgibbon Solicitors LLP is an Irish Limited Liability Partnership law firm headquartered in Listowel, County Kerry, formally established in 1975 when Robert Pierse joined forces with Paddy Fitzgibbon (with a predecessor practice dating to 1962). The firm delivers a broad portfolio of legal services across personal injury (accidents), residential and commercial property, wills and probate, legal debt recovery (commercial and consumer), agricultural law, commercial law, criminal law, enforcement law, and litigation. It serves both individual clients across Munster and Ireland more broadly and institutional clients including financial institutions, credit unions, utility companies, government agencies, and Transport Infrastructure Ireland (TII), for whom the firm acts as the appointed Enforcement Service Provider for the M50 barrier-free eFlow tolling system between Junctions 6 and 7 — a mandate held continuously since 30 August 2008.

The firm operates a sales-led, relationship-driven go-to-market anchored on nearly fifty years of regional reputation. It has invested in IT systems over time and was the first Irish law firm to secure the Irish Q Mark certification for quality and security, and won the national Innovation Award at the 2015 Law Awards. The M50 eFlow service is operated through a 24/7 online payment portal (payments.pierse.ie) and a phone payment channel (Mon–Fri 8am–6pm), handling toll collection, default tolls, penalties, and legal proceedings for unpaid tolls. The core technology stack is conventional legal practice software, a WordPress-based website with a customer-facing payment platform for M50 enforcement, and no disclosed AI, API, or integration layer.

Revenue is generated through professional fees on legal mandates, fixed-fee-per-stage debt recovery transactions for commercial and consumer debt, and enforcement-related revenue from the M50 eFlow mandate. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Marketing is primarily content-driven via the firm's website and blog, with direct phone/email intake (LoCall 1800 499 999, +353 68 50900, [email protected]) as the primary conversion channel. The firm supplements client acquisition through a Thank-You Voucher programme issuing €100 vouchers (transferable, no expiry) to clients whose completed cases generate professional fees of €2,000 or more before VAT and outlays. The firm employs 11–50 people, with four partners (Managing Partner Martina Larkin, Partners Helena O'Carroll, David Pierse, Anne Keane), two solicitors, and a consultant, and remains privately held as an LLP with no disclosed external investors.
