Chapters

Ireland

The Ireland Chapter of the Women's White Collar Defense Association was founded in July 2018 at a luncheon hosted by Joanelle O'Cleirigh and Deirdre O’Mahony, partners at Arthur Cox, Dublin.

The number of female solicitors practising in Ireland recently surpassed the number of male solicitors and, with increasing government focus on the investigation and prosecution of white collar crime, it was a fitting time to launch the Irish Chapter.

The group meets several times a year and also hosts events that are open to the public. Members are encouraged to support each other in their professional development and to use the group as a forum for the discussion of white collar issues.

CHAPTER MEMBERSHIP CRITERIA
