At Davidson McDonnell, we are deeply committed to supporting our staff’s wellbeing through our work practices and corporate actions. We know that life at a busy law firm can sometimes be very demanding, and that many of our staff lead equally busy lives outside work too. The firm was therefore pleased to offer every staff member a health MOT in partnership with Randox Health as part of our ongoing employee wellness programme. The checks took place at our office during working hours to maximise convenience and were well received by all staff members.   Vicky Dummigan, Director commented: “Empowering staff with personalised information on how they can best manage and protect their health is a practical way for us to demonstrate our commitment to prioritise wellbeing and support our staff beyond career opportunities." #employeewellness #healthcheck #healthtesting #employeewellbeing #randoxhealth

Fantastic to watch some of the world’s best golfers play one of the world’s best courses yesterday at the Irish Open. The backdrop of the Mourne Mountains is truly stunning, reminding us how beautiful Northern Ireland is, especially when the sun shines.

Davidson McDonnell is delighted to be helping its clients minimise litigation risk and improve access to justice with the use of after the event (“ATE”) insurance. This is insurance taken specifically for a piece of litigation and, as payment can be made from damages received, no upfront payment is required. An increasing number of corporate and individual clients of Davidson McDonnell are benefiting, with claims ranging from medical and professional negligence to complex corporate and property disputes.  Should you wish to discuss ATE insurance or should you have general dispute queries please contact a member of our disputes team.
