As the new managing partner of law firm Mason Hayes & Curran, Will Carmody hopes to continue its growth trajectory in Ireland while expanding its activities in Britain and the United States
MHC is the only large law firm here to publish its annual income because it wants to be ‘open’ with staff and clients about the health of the business
“We don’t have to do it. It’s voluntary. But when you take that step, you sort of have to do it consistently. So we’ve published our turnover in years when it has gone up and years when it has gone down.” MHC did previously have a female managing partner, Emer Gilvarry, while its current chairwoman is Christine O’Donovan, a partner in the firm’s international asset finance team. Carmody also notes that nine of the 19 heads of departments or practice groups are women, while two of the five recent appointees to its group management team were women.
“The more senior you go into the business, the fewer females who are represented in that group, and that’s what we’re trying to address. So, as we make these promotions now, year on year on year, that profile will change,” Carmody says.Carmody hails from Portlaoise in Co Laois.
“It’s been an interesting career, because as the same time as you are learning to be a lawyer and developing all those skills, you are right at the centre of a big firm transition in that time. We’ve done most of our growth in the past 20 years.
He would like to expand the firm’s presence overseas – it currently has small offices in London and San Francisco and a representative in New York.
