E117 The Fifth Court - Paul Keane, Reddy Charlton LLP, former Honorary Consul General of Sweden (and Beekeeper!)
E117 The Fifth Court throws the spotlight on one of the country's most colourful solicitors, Paul Keane, former Managing Partner at Reddy Charlton (where he started at 17 years of age), now a consultant to that firm, as well as having been the Chair of the North Fingal Beekeepers Association!
He was originally inspired by Lord Wedderburn and his legal insights. - "Company law has given me some of my best moments in my career"
By simply saying 'Yes' led to some big opportunities in European law
He's concerned about legal deserts - areas of the country where there is an absence of legal firms, which causes difficulties in accessing justice
He is a member of the Order of the Polar Star - he explains how he received this honour
He had a beehive outside his office in central Dublin - and wait'll you hear him on bees and the Brehon Laws. Sweet.
His cultural recommendation, 'More Than Honey' (a Netflix movie) - and for a book he recommends the writings of Patrick Leigh Fermor
Also, our hosts discuss some recent cases drawn from the Decisis Law Reports - with thanks to Charlton Solicitors and Collaborative Practitioners of Dun Laoghaire, Dublin.
Don't forget the upcoming of the Kilkenny Law Festival 16th - 18th May where will be recording the podcast.
