Who We Are

Our firm has been providing legal services in Cashel and the surrounding areas since 1939.  In 2019, we rebranded as Whelan Law, having previously practised as Matthew MacNamara & Sons, Solicitors.

We are a forward-thinking firm with a strong emphasis on personal service and proactive case management. Our firm is led by John Whelan who qualified as a Solicitor in 1987 and has been our principal since 1990.

Our Vision

We want you to be confident that your case is being managed as efficiently and professionally as possible.

Our vision centres around five core principles which we call our ‘Five P’s’: personal service, respect for  privacy, professionalism, proactive case management and achieving each client’s preferred outcome.

We believe that these principles, together with our extensive experience and expertise, allow us to achieve the best possible outcome for every client.
