Having joined the firm in 2017, and with over 14 years’ experience, she advises insurers and corporate policyholders on public and employers’ liability, product liability and motor-related injury claims. Her expertise also extends to maritime law, where she supports ship owners, charterers, operators, brokers, and insurers across Ireland.

In 2024, she was selected for Clyde & Co’s pioneering global exchange programme, spending a week with the firm’s New York casualty team.

Garrett Moore, Managing Partner of Clyde’s Dublin office, commented: “Bernadette’s well-deserved promotion reflects her dedication, service excellence and commitment to clients. It forms part of an ongoing strategic re-positioning of Clyde and Co Ireland’s casualty practice and the expansion of our contentious and non-contentious capability for non-casualty insurance purposes. Bernadette will play a very significant role in this, with her expertise helping us continue to deliver market-leading services within the casualty space.”

Bernadette added: “I’m hugely excited about the opportunity to lead the growth of the casualty group in Ireland and I am looking forward to helping insurers and other clients navigate the growing volume and complexity of casualty claims.”
