“Emma Farrell represented us as landlords in the negotiation of a 10 year lease on a commercial property in Dun Laoghaire. Throughout the process Emma was proactive, anticipatory and timely, managing a complex negotiation with charm and ease, always making us feel we were in expert hands, with our best interests in mind. She provided sage advice throughout the process, always promptly returned our calls and kept us up to date at all times. It was a pleasure to work with her.”

Redundancy can be an unsettling and daunting event but the care I received from Emma and Helen in PJF was first class. My options and entitlements were laid out in a clear and concise manner and the team were available at any time for questions that I had. They even managed to correct my employer on a tax calculation which benefitted me financially. Excellent team.
