Melanie Crowley, Head of our Employment Law & Benefits team, has been recognised by International Employment Lawyer (IEL) as one of its Women Leaders 2022.
Melanie is profiled in the publication’s inaugural thought-leadership survey, which recognises leading female law firm partners practising labour and employment law worldwide. The survey is described as a “who’s who list of 50 established legal experts from 20 countries around the globe discussing the key trends, challenges, and innovations within their specialist areas of practice.”
Melanie’s profile describes her as “widely recognised as a “game-changer” when resolving seemingly intractable employment problems.
Melanie is the go-to employment lawyer for some of Ireland’s biggest domestic and multi-national companies and employers.”
In her interview with IEL, Melanie said: “I believe people are at the heart of every organisation and an integral part of the delivery of quality goods and services. I love the mix of advisory work and the challenge of defending advice that the team and I have given before the Workplace Relations Commission and the civil courts. Employment lawyers get to see it all – every variety of issue, from cradle to grave in the employment relationship. I love the human element of helping employers navigate through human capital issues. No two personalities are ever the same, which means that no two days are ever the same!”
