His practice spans the full lifecycle of rights protection, exploitation and enforcement, with an emphasis on helping clients navigate IP, data and contractual issues in fast‑moving technological and creative environments.
He advises a number of leading UK and Irish companies on the management of their global IP portfolios, as well as on their data protection compliance, commercial contract structures, and a wide range of broader legal matters. Éamon’s client base includes both innovative start‑ups and established international brands across IP‑rich sectors such as cosmetics, fashion, food and drink, furniture and product design, photography/videography, publishing, retail, robotics, software and AI/emerging technologies. His work frequently involves advising on brand strategy, digital risk, data protection/regulatory risk, rights clearance and licensing, and highly bespoke commercial arrangements.
Éamon has played a central role in the development of the firm’s Irish/EU practice in Dublin, where he leads on strategic growth initiatives and cross‑border advisory work. He also manages several of the firm’s key institutional relationships, including those with the King’s Cross Knowledge Quarter and the British Library Business & IP Centre in London and the Council of Irish Fashion Designers in Dublin, supporting a wide range of creative and technology‑driven organisations.

His combined experience in soft IP, technology, data protection, together with his commercial acumen and cross‑jurisdictional qualifications, positions him as a trusted adviser to clients seeking pragmatic, strategic guidance in complex and evolving areas of law.
