About Mary Molloy Solicitors

Mary Molloy Solicitors was established in 1981 and practises from The Ormond Building on Ormond Quay Upper, Dublin 7, a short walk from the Four Courts. This website is the firm’s dedicated resource for divorce and separation cases in which significant or complex assets are involved.

Richard O’Shea, Solicitor

Richard O’Shea leads the firm’s family law work. He holds a Diploma in Mediation from the Law Society of Ireland, which informs a settlement-focused approach to financial provision, and he is a TEP (Trust and Estate Practitioner), a qualification in trusts and estates that is directly relevant where inherited assets, trust interests and succession rights form part of the wealth to be addressed on separation or divorce. He practises across family law, litigation and private client work.

Richard is not a tax advisor and the firm does not provide tax advice. Where tax questions arise in a case — as they frequently do in asset transfers on divorce — we identify them and work alongside your accountant or tax advisor.

How We Work

Cases involving substantial assets are won or lost on preparation: complete disclosure, credible valuation and a clear view of what proper provision requires in the specific circumstances. We prepare every case as if it will be fully contested, while pursuing negotiated or mediated settlement wherever that serves the client’s interests. Family proceedings are heard in private under the in camera rule, and discretion is a professional obligation we take seriously.
