Karen Dunleavy is a knowledge lawyer within our Corporate team. Karen had over 10 years’ experience working as a corporate transaction lawyer prior to moving into her role as corporate knowledge lawyer 5 years ago.
Karen’s role as a corporate knowledge lawyer involves keeping all the corporate lawyers up to date on any new legislative and case law updates, coordinating and organising the technical training in the corporate department to support the fee earners and managing the corporate know how and precedent data base. Karen works closely with the other knowledge lawyers and partners in Mason Hayes & Curran to ensure there is cross-departmental collaboration and knowledge sharing to ensure all fee earners are up to date on any relevant legal developments which impact on their area of expertise.
