The pair, who specialise in data protection, IP and technology specialists, will be based in Bird & Bird’s new offices at George’s Dock, in Dublin, which officially open on June 13.
Deirdre Kilroy brings more than two decades’ experience in data privacy, technology and intellectual property law from Irish law firm Matheson, where she was a partner in the technology and innovation team.

Working closely with existing Bird & Bird partners around the network, this specialist set up will provide clients with a holistic offering – combining leading local Irish knowledge with the global expertise of the firm’s international team.
