Athlone-based Byrne Carolan Cunningham LLP is in the running for the overall Law Firm of Year award at the annual Dye & Durham Irish Law Awards next month.

The prominent firm, based in Mardyke Street, Athlone, who also have offices in Dublin, Galway, Moate and Lanesborough, was named as a finalist for the top accolade along with two others in Leinster outside Dublin, eleven in the capital, nine in Connacht/Ulster and eleven other companies in Munster.

The team of solicitors is also up for two other gongs - Property Law Firm/Team/Lawyer of the Year and Personal Injury/Medical Negligence Law Firm/Lawyer of the Year at the awards which recognises excellence in the legal profession.

Now in its 11th year, the Dye & Durham Irish Law Awards aims to identify, honour, and publicise outstanding achievements, while also recognising those who have dedicated their lives to serving in the legal sector.

Former Minister and broadcaster Ivan Yates will announce the winners at a gala dinner on June 9 in the Clayton Hotel, Burlington Road, Dublin.
