Established commercial lawyer Adrian Wall has joined forces with Harry McCullagh, to form a new Cork based commercial law firm, McCullagh Wall (MCW).

Adrian Wall, who has 20 years’ experience working at some of the country’s biggest law firms, says he left his most recent position as Head of Corporate and Commercial Law at a large firm because: “I wanted to build something from the ground up.  We have identified a gap in the market here in Cork and established our firm to offer businesses, large and small, access to a specialised commercial law service. We provide our clients with technical expertise at affordable rates”.

He added: “I believe we are well positioned to assist our clients with their growth plans as the economy recovers”.

Adrian Wall brings to his new firm expertise in Commercial Contracts, Business and Corporate Structures, Mergers and Acquisitions, Investment/Venture Capital, Company Law, Intellectual Property and Renewable Energy.

Wall’s partner, Harry McCullagh founded Harry McCullagh & Co. in Cork, building a strong practice for more than 15 years. Harry McCullagh & Co. was recently awarded the Gold Standard in the Q6000 Risk Management standard for the third year running, being only one of 5 firms which have achieved this distinction in the Republic of Ireland.

In recent years, Wall has led teams of lawyers working on large and complex transactions. He has also been retained as principal outside counsel and client relationship partner for a number of leading Irish businesses and multi-national companies based in Ireland.
