John M Watterson Solicitor
There used to be four O'Connor
brothers in practice as solicitors but
now there are only three. That is
because
Tony,
who had been a
solicitor in Arthur Cox, in the Legal
Department of Aer Lingus and
subsequently with Rory O'Donnell &
Co., decided in the late 1980's that
what he really wanted to be was
a barrister. Accordingly he jumped
the wall and was admitted at the Bar
where he is practising happily. He has
had for many years a particular
interest in EU and Irish Competition
Law and it was the launch of
Tony's
Competition Law Source Book
(publishers: Round Hall.Sweet
& Maxwell) which was the
occasion which brought the
O'Connor brothers together for the
above photo.
Tony's brother,
John
is a sole
practitioner in Dublin and is currently
a member of the Council of the Dublin
Solicitors Bar Association. Their
brother
Tom,
by contrast, is a partner
in one of the largest firms in the
country, A & L Goodbody, where he
practices mainly in the area of
Commercial Property Law.
Eldest brother
Pat
practised with
Hayes & Sons in Dublin in 1975 and
then went home to Swinford, Co.
Mayo where he is the principal in the
family firm of P. O'Connor & Son
which was founded by the brothers'
grandfather and continued by their
father,
Thomas V. O'Connor,
who was
President of the Law Society in 1972-
73.
Pat
is also following in his
father's Law Society footsteps where
he is a Council Member and is now in
his third year as Chairman of the
Education Committee. He was the
Society's Junior Vice President in
1993-94.
