Regarded as one of Ireland’s premier technology law firms, ByrneWallace LLP advises a wide spectrum of Irish and international tech companies, across all stages of their development - from start-ups to mid-cap and scaling companies, right through to large domestic and multinational organisations.  

The firm provides legal advice on a range of corporate matters and has specialist expertise advising on fundraising, data protection, IP and brand protection (contentious and non-contentious), cybersecurity & data privacy, online trading, web development and operational issues, software licensing (entreprise and SaaS licensing), electronic payments and fintech.  

As one of the leading advisers on data protection, we are the first large Irish law firm certified with the ISO 27001 information security standard. This provides us with a unique understanding of the challenges organisations face in relation to data security and cybercrime.
