ENNIS based MHP Sellors Solicitors has scooped a major win after they were named Irish Law Firm of the Year at the LEAP Irish Law Awards 2025.
In what is significant recognition for the firm and legal practice in the Mid-West, the national award was one of three secured by MHP Sellors at the Irish Law Awards.
Typically awarded to larger firms, the national Law Firm of the Year title acknowledged a number of strengths at MHP Sellors, including its expansion across Limerick and Clare, its investment in technology and systems, regulatory and compliance track record, and support for the not-for-profit and charity sectors.
“We are delighted to see our team’s efforts acknowledged at a national level with this top prize,” said Stephen Keogh, Managing Partner. “This award demonstrates that the merger of Michael Houlihan & Partners and Sellors has delivered a reenergised and progressive firm, and we are grateful to our clients and colleagues past and present for their trust and dedication throughout that journey. I’d like to especially acknowledge our partners Ian Sheehy, Marina Keane, Caroline Meaney, Ronan Hynes, and Derek Walsh, and all of our staff who have contributed to the development of the firm”.
These latest awards follow ongoing growth at MHP Sellors since the merger of Michael Houlihan & Partners and Sellors LLP in 2022. The firm now operates with over 50 staff across offices in Ennis and Limerick, and is the largest legal practice in County Clare and the most established dual-county firm in the region.
The awards also recognised other leading figures and institutions in the legal sector, including former President Mary Robinson, who received the Lifetime Achievement Award, and the University of Limerick School of Law, named Law School of the Year 2025.
Now in its 13th year, the LEAP Irish Law Awards recognises excellence across the legal industry, shining a spotlight on those who have shown exceptional dedication, skill, and service to the profession.
