Software & Technology

Software & Technology

FHB draws from years of experience in working with both customers and suppliers of technology projects. We understand that the key to drafting a good contract is to understand the technology that underpins the deal. We work with clients on a daily basis that are using and developing the latest technology and we are constantly updating and redrafting our contracts to meet these requirements. more

International Business

International Business

These days very few contracts are between companies operating from the same country. We spend a lot of time on conference calls with customers and suppliers of our clients based in Europe, the US, Canada, Australia, Hong Kong and the UAE. We know that different legal frameworks, cultures and business can make it difficult to do business internationally. more

Sabrina Keenan, Data Protection Officer, Irish Blood Transfusion Service

Irish Blood Transfusion ServiceFHB, in partnership with Compliance & Risk Limited, provided staff training in Data Protection for the staff at the IBTS in 2014 and 2015. They spent some time initially sitting down with us to understand the business and data involved and then produced a tailored training session and assessment for our specific needs. We found them to be hugely knowledgeable, extremely easy to work with and very efficient, flexible and self-sufficient in terms of delivering the sessions across a number of locations and dates. They provided invaluable feedback from the sessions about the issues and questions that our staff were raising so that we could focus and further tailor the training being delivered. It was a joy to have our training delivered by two such highly qualified data protection practitioners (Shane Mackessy and Tricia Higgins) and the fact that they are both lawyers also really made staff sit up and listen. I couldn't recommend them highly enough. Jan 2016

Patrick Dinneen, Managing Director, Platform Avenue Ltd, Cork

Tricia's analytical ability and years of experience enable her to provide thoughtful, thorough, and, most importantly, practical legal advice regarding a wide variety of contract law issues. She listens carefully to client questions and comments and she responds quickly and clearly with analysis and advice aimed directly at the issue.

Brian Dennis, Operations Director, Veronica’s Snacks Ltd.

Veronica’s Snacks Ltd. Is an early-stage snack company producing and selling tasty, healthy gluten-free snacks. We engaged FHB in order to draft a contract with a key supplier. We are delighted with the outcome and are very happy to recommend Tricia Higgins to potential clients. Tricia was very thorough, tenacious in the nicest possible way and focused on all the detail required to complete the contract. We expect to work with FHB again as we grow our business.

 

Don Aitkenhead, Interim Group CIO - Fitness First

We engaged Tricia at Fitness First to help us draft and conclude contracts for a multi million pound global data and voice network. The service spans team countries over Europe and Asia Pacific, and was complicated by the fact that the providers were two separate companies working in partnership. One of the suppliers’ legal leads described it as the most complex deal she had ever been involved with.

Tricia did an excellent job for us. Her understanding of the subject matter and legal experience were invaluable, and her personal qualities of tenacity, attention to detail, and quick turnaround made her a key part of our negotiating team. Added to this, she retained a great ability to work with partners through situations which were at times inevitably adversarial, and always kept a good sense of proportion.

I would have no hesitation in engaging Tricia again for similar work, or for recommending her to other firms with similar requirements.

William Fitzgerald of Yougetitback Limited (trading as Inhance Technology)

As the COO and co-founder of an Irish based company which operates globally, one of my main areas of responsibility is everything legal.

Fortunately for us we were introduced to FHB by another company we knew and who were equally impressed with the work of FHB. We have now been working with them for nearly 2 years on an almost daily basis, during which time we have found their work to be outstanding.

We work directly with Ms. Tricia Higgins owner of FHB and have found her to be extremely commercial with an innate ability to ask the relevant questions of our team regarding our products and our customers and to understand the outcome we would like to achieve. This was something which we had struggled to achieve with some of the previous companies we had worked with in this area. Tricia has a huge energy level coupled with initiative, flexibility and a willingness to accept responsibility.

We now have template documents which allow us the ability to release quality draft contracts to very large multi-national organisations quickly. However, we keep Tricia very much involved right up to signature stage as her knowledge of data-protection, warranties and liabilities etc. is second to none. When you have situations where senior counsel on your client’s side is praising the drafting skills of your legal, you know you are doing something right!

Tricia has also helped us develop our own internal legal department and has been very much involved in every stage from initial interviews through to hand over of some of the workload. She is seen here as very much a key member of the team.

I would have no reservation in recommending FHB and would be delighted to answer any queries you may have in relation to working with them.

Pat Lynch CFO Compliance & Risks Limited

Tricia is a talented and bright lawyer with great attention to detail. She is people focused and a team player who understands deadlines. She is well able to represent our company against any top law firm anywhere in the world.

It is a pleasure to recommend her.
