Melanie Boyle
Melanie is a Partner in the firm with specialist knowledge of Litigation, Wills and Probate, and Debt Recovery. She is one of the foremost Solicitors in Illegal Adoption cases in Ireland and achieved the first ever successful settlements against the State and a Religious Order for illegally adopted clients [with several other successful outcomes since].
With over 20 years’ experience, Melanie has strong legal knowledge and practical problem-solving skills which means she gets things done for her clients, whether it be navigating complex Litigation, guiding an Executor through the Probate process for a loved one, or drafting a watertight Will or contract.
Melanie is the great-granddaughter of the firm’s founder and after joining the firm in 2011, she became the firm’s first female Partner in 2020. She trained and worked at Matheson, one of Ireland’s most prestigious law firms, from 2004 to 2010 where she specialised in Commercial Litigation. She holds a BCL (International) from University College Dublin and University of Minnesota Law School.
Outside work, Melanie enjoys walking her beloved dog, watching Leinster and Ireland rugby, and practising yoga. She is also a proud volunteer with the Big Brother Big Sister youth mentorship programme in the north inner city.
