Niall Fox Solicitors has been named Sole Practitioner of the Year for Connacht/Ulster at the LEAP Irish Law Awards 2026. The award was presented at a gala ceremony in Dublin on Friday 12 June 2026.
For a one-solicitor practice based on Bridge Street in Cavan town, it is a proud moment. It is recognition, from across the Irish legal profession, of the work done every day for clients in Cavan, Monaghan, Longford, Louth, Leitrim and beyond.
About the LEAP Irish Law Awards
Now in their 14th year, the LEAP Irish Law Awards recognise excellence across the legal profession in Ireland and Northern Ireland. This year’s awards drew more than 450 entries across 34 categories, covering solicitors, barristers, in-house teams, law schools and students.
The winners were announced at a black-tie ceremony in the Clayton Hotel, Burlington Road, Dublin, hosted by broadcaster Anton Savage. The Sole Practitioner of the Year category is sponsored by LEAP Legal Software.
This win follows earlier recognition for the firm at the Irish Law Awards, where Niall Fox Solicitors was named a finalist for Connacht/Ulster Family Law Firm/Team/Lawyer of the Year and for Criminal Law Firm/Lawyer of the Year.
What This Award Means to Us
“I’m genuinely honoured to receive this award. As a sole practitioner, every case gets my personal attention from the first phone call to the final outcome. This recognition belongs as much to my clients, who trusted me with some of the most difficult moments of their lives, as it does to me.”
Our mission has always been simple: to help people access justice, to fight their legal battles robustly, and to achieve the best possible outcome with the least stress possible. Whether a client is dealing with the aftermath of an accident, facing a prosecution, or going through a family dispute, they deal directly with Niall throughout.
That personal approach is what clients mention most in their feedback: clear explanations, open communication, and a calm, steady hand when things feel overwhelming.
Thank You
A sincere thank you to our clients, to the judging panel, to LEAP Legal Software and the Irish Law Awards organisers. Congratulations to all of this year’s finalists and winners.
