Listowel based legal firm, Purtill Solicitors, and Abbeyfeale based legal firm, Woulfe Murphy Solicitors, have merged to become Purtill Woulfe Murphy from the 1st August 2022.

The new combined firm will offer a greater depth of services to Irish and International clients across many areas of law including;

Purtill Solicitors was formed in 2009 in Ballybunion by Margarita Purtill and has expanded to become a modern efficient practice in Listowel employing five solicitors.

Fiona O’Sullivan took over Woulfe Murphy Solicitors in Abbeyfeale in 2008, a practice that has been in existence since 1915. She has since grown the firm into a strong modern practice catering for many areas of general practice.

Both solicitors and incoming Partner Paul Cannon have a wealth of legal experience and are excited by the opportunities the new merger presents.

Principal Solicitor of Woulfe Murphy Solicitors, Fiona O’ Sullivan, outlined that “both firms have a similar ethos and work ethic in relation to their business and commitment to their clients. This makes the merger a natural step in strengthening the delivery of services to clients”.

Margarita Purtill of Purtill Solicitors commented that “this is an important step forward allowing both firms to merge as one and deliver a greater range of services to clients while retaining both offices and all staff”.

Paul Cannon incoming partner stated that he was “excited to be coming in at Partner level to develop the new firm into one of Munster’s leading legal practices as the firm continues to provide a consistently high level of legal services to not just the people of North Kerry and West Limerick but to all areas of the country”.
