Keith McConnell
Keith McConnell is a partner at Gore & Grimes Solicitors LLP, a long-established Dublin firm whose real estate practice was named Real Estate Law Firm of the Year in Ireland at the Corporate INTL Global Awards 2025. As a partner in a full-service commercial firm with a heritage stretching back more than a century, Mr McConnell contributes to a real estate offering that serves both companies and individuals across the Irish property market.
Gore & Grimes brings a legacy spanning over 120 years to its clients and has built its reputation as a full-service commercial law firm that delivers excellent, partner-driven legal services tailored to companies and individuals alike. The firm operates from Three Haddington Buildings on Percy Place in Dublin 4 as a limited liability partnership authorised by the Legal Services Regulatory Authority. Its longevity and continuity reflect the trust it has earned across generations of clients, and the emphasis it places on senior, partner-led involvement ensures that clients benefit directly from the experience and judgement of practitioners such as Mr McConnell.
Real estate is one of the firm's core practice areas and the discipline for which it has been recognised. Property work of this kind spans the acquisition, disposal, development, letting and financing of commercial and residential property, and it requires close attention to title, contractual structure and the regulatory framework that governs land and development in Ireland. As a partner in the practice, Mr McConnell advises clients on the property transactions and arrangements that underpin their investment, business and personal objectives, guiding them through processes that are often significant in both value and complexity and that demand a careful, methodical approach.
The firm's real estate practice sits within a broad commercial offering that also encompasses banking and financial services, commercial litigation and dispute resolution, corporate and commercial law, corporate restructuring and insolvency, employment, private client and family law. This full-service breadth means that Mr McConnell and his colleagues can support clients not only on individual property matters but across the wider range of legal issues that accompany the ownership, financing and development of real estate, drawing on colleagues in complementary disciplines wherever a transaction requires it.
Under a model built on deep expertise and close, collaborative client relationships, Gore & Grimes has maintained its position as a trusted adviser to businesses and individuals in Dublin and beyond. The recognition of its practice as Real Estate Law Firm of the Year in Ireland at the Corporate INTL Global Awards 2025 affirms the quality of its property work, to which Mr McConnell contributes as one of the firm's partners, and reflects the firm's enduring reputation for dependable, partner-driven service across more than 120 years of practice.
