Ireland

Driving infrastructure with regional insight

New challenges, better results

Ireland is entering a transformative decade of infrastructure development, investing in infrastructure that supports sustainability, resilience, and energy security. And we’re proud to play a part in making that happen. The outcome of these projects will be felt for generations to come.

Our growing team supports strategic projects across energy, water, and telecoms, offering expert advice and agile delivery on the ground.


We’ve built strong partnerships with some of the country’s key utility and infrastructure providers, including:

  • EirGrid logo featuring the name 'EirGrid' in teal, accompanied by a graphic of interconnected lines resembling a grid or electrical lines.
  • Logo of ESB with the stylized letters 'ESB' on the left and the slogan 'Energy for generations' in blue text on the right.

Our sole focus in Ireland is enabling the consenting and access of critical infrastructure projects for operators and developers. With deep expertise in land assembly, planning, and compulsory purchase orders, we help navigate the unique challenges of the Irish landscape.
