Kildare solicitor heads up European personal injury lawyers' group
Liam Moloney
A KILDARE solicitor has made his own bit of history after being named the new president of a European representative body for personal injury lawyers.
Liam Moloney, Managing Partner of Moloney & Co Solicitors, based in Naas has been elected as the new President of the Pan European Organisation of Personal Injury Lawyers (PEOPIL). He is the first Irish lawyer to hold the position.
PEOPIL is one of the largest Personal Injury Lawyers Association in Europe with over 500 members from 30 jurisdictions within Europe and 7 jurisdictions outside Europe.
Its core objectives are to promote greater access to justice for injury victims and to enhance judicial co-operation in all European jurisdictions in the field of Personal Injury Law.
Mr Moloney’s firm specialises in personal injury, travel-related injury claims, product liability, and medical negligence claims.
Mr. Moloney described it as an “honour” to be the first Irish lawyer to serve as president.
“Regretfully, access to justice in many European countries, including Ireland, continues to be eroded for personal injury victims through unjust reforms. PEOPIL, through its many initiatives, continues to promote the delivery of fair and just compensation for all personal injury victims.”
Liam previously served as PEOPIL’s Vice President and is also a past chair of the International Practice section of the American Personal Injury Trial lawyers Association (AAJ) where he sits on its Board of Governors.
He is also currently the Honorary Consul for Slovenia.
