Andrea says “you will not find a better litigation lawyer in Dublin, Marusia leaves no stone unturned and has the knowledge and experience to take on the biggest litigation cases in the country” Tara Reilly, Trainee Solicitor, manages the growing family law department with Andrea Clarke. Andrea has practiced family law intensively at different stages in her career. It’s no secret that family law can take an emotional toll on both clients and staff. Family law assistance can end up being required by any of our clients. Mindful of this and the most important stakeholders in the dispute i.e. the children, Coyne Solicitors has rolled out systems and processes to manage cases efficiently towards the quickest possible solution while providing the support clients need during difficult times. Coyne Solicitors also boasts a dedicated elder law department that assists with wills, probate, and powers of attorney, and offers streamlined process-driven estate planning. Andrea explains: “We understand these matters often involve family dynamics and emotional situations, so we provide clear, compassionate guidance while ensuring all legal requirements are met efficiently. No one comes in here for a will and doesn’t leave without being advised to put an EPA in place; this is extremely important for our clients and their families for their future. Manoel Nunes, our Brazilian lawyer and Dan Coyne our Trainee Solicitor are spending so much of their time making applications for Decision Making Representatives in the courts, which costs time and money and unnecessary stress for the family at an already difficult time, but if there was an EPA in place all this would not be necessary. Our streamlined processes often enable us to conclude these matters faster than traditional practices while still maintaining personal attention.” The commercial arm of Coyne Solicitors helps its clients set up, buy, sell or restructure companies, secure leases, navigate complex business transactions, and protect intellectual property and digital assets. Clients particularly value the firm’s practical, cost effective, process driven, and results-focused approach in business-related disputes and commercial litigation. Andrea Clarke says, “Commercial clients do not want big legal bills- they want cost effective practical and strategic solutions.” With over 20 years' experience in business and the legal sector, including international law, Andrea’s knowledge is extensive and her credentials exceptional. She also specialises in sports law. A former lawyer at Coillte, Ireland's largest property owner managing land solutions teams and national litigation for the group, Andrea also served as Senior Solicitor at UAE legal firm Vaishvik Law International Limited and spent time in Bord Na Mona, Irelands largest renewable energy providers, working on state of the art green energy and funding projects, providing supporting to BNM Recycling ( EPA regulated ) and New business and was the Legal Manager and Company Secretary for Eurolink Motorways, with international shareholders. A certified GDPR expert and Company Secretary, Andrea is the Deputy President of the South Dublin Chamber of Commerce stepping into the President role in May after being nominated and ratified by her peers which evidences her dedication and expertise in relation to the business eco-system, also having represented at the European Parliament of Enterprises. She is well adept to advising C-suite and international Boards. Her combination of corporate legal experience, international qualifications, and business insight offers a rare understanding of complex transactions and efficient processes. With a passion for her specialism, Andrea is a director and company secretary of both Athlone Town football club and Badminton Ireland and part of the General Assembly of the FAI. Holding a Global Master's in International Sports Law from the ISDE university in Madrid she is part of the world renowned ISDE global network and SIGA , Andrea was Ireland's first female FIFA registered football agent. She is one of the best sports lawyers in the world but helps out with the LOI on a pro bono basis to help it grow. She explains her work and how her knowledge and network in this area help the firm as a whole: “While there's a limited amount of sports law work in Ireland, we serve athletes, clubs, agents, and sports organisations, helping them with contract negotiations, disciplinary matters, commercial deals, and regulatory compliance. Our sports law expertise often leads to lucrative commercial property and litigation work with sports organisations and their stakeholders, making it a valuable specialisation that few Irish firms can match.” Whatever legal help a client requires, Coyne Solicitors is guided by one simple principle — clients come first. One major strength of Coyne Solicitors is its commitment to continuous improvement. As the demand for increased transparency and more easily accessible services grows, Coyne Solicitors is investing heavily in digital technologies to ensure its place at the head of the curve. They were the first Irish law Firm to establish WhatsApp 016281000 client onboarding and fee estimates in February 2026. Combining traditional legal excellence with modern, technology-led efficiency, the firm makes client interactions pain-free. Secure portals enable clients to upload documents, track case progress and securely sign documents online. Further examples of the firm’s ingenuity and flexibility include its Sign at Home service and phone and video conferencing meetings to reduce unnecessary travel time. Andrea says: “We take a systematic approach that enables us to eliminate inefficiencies and make sure nothing falls through the cracks. Unlike firms where everything sits in the solicitor's head, our cases are managed through robust digital systems with automatic follow-ups and reminders. This means we can offer faster service, with fewer delays, and better communication while still making sure we provide personal attention.” When it comes to fees, transparency is key. Fixed-fee pricing is offered across all services. All fees are agreed upfront with no hidden costs, so clients know exactly what they are paying before giving instructions. The firm’s online conveyancing calculator offers instant quotes, and current will fees are published on Coyne Solicitors’ website, making less complex requests even simpler. Embracing Six Sigma quality-control methodologies, often used to streamline and improve manufacturing industries, Coyne Solicitors has fine-tuned and continues to fine tune its processes on a daily basis to perfection. By equipping the team with the tools to provide clients with exactly the assistance they need, this modern dynamic firm is set to continue raising the bar for client focused legal services in Ireland.
