Procurement Law

For procurement we doubt there’s any other law firm in Ireland that can help you as much as we can. And that’s not a claim we make lightly.

We’ve helped to develop public procurement strategies that achieve goals with the perfect balance of risk, control and funding.

National and EU procurement rules might seem like barriers but, actually, they’re not: They define the commercial opportunities and we’ll help you to interpret them.

Medical and Pharmaceutical Law

Health care is the fastest growing and most complex industry in the world, and our lawyers stay abreast of market developments, trends, and cases that relate to our clients and practices.

Noble has developed an industry-wide practice in the health care field that encompasses virtually all aspects of health care law and integrates nearly every legal practice area.

Our lawyers are seasoned practitioners with experience serving as general, litigation, and special counsel to a wide variety of health care organisations and entities.

We have a solid understanding of the health care sector and proven success in representing our clients across a broad spectrum of issues.

Our regulatory law group specialises in regulating the health and teaching professions and represents medical doctors, pharmacists, opticians, nurses and teachers in all fitness to practice/disciplinary hearings and procedures. We also represent pharmaceutical clients in most segments of the industry, including brand-name companies, generics makers and trade organisations. Our work spans a range of legal disciplines, including intellectual property, employment, corporate and procurement law.

Sports law

Noble represents the interests of professional and amateur sports athletes and organisations with a full range of legal services designed specifically for the sports industry.

Sports law encompasses both autonomous and state-created rules regarding the variety of economic, social, commercial, cultural and political aspects of sporting activities.

This regulation may take the form of autonomous self-regulation, e.g. by national and international associations of sport or general legislative provisions that apply to sporting activities.

The trend towards more professionalism in sport and the growing economic, social and cultural relevance of sport, have resulted in an ever increasing applicability of regulations embodied in general legislation.

These regulations include, for example, certain aspects of criminal law, tort, employment law, commercial law, tax law and procurement law.

The laws that apply to sporting organisations and individuals are becoming more complex and in recognition of this trend Noble has developed a dedicated sports law unit to provide the right advice.

Construction Law

Yes it’s a play on words but it’s true. Noble will work with you to build a relationship based on mutual trust and respect. As trust can only develop when there is open communication, we will agree an integrated contact strategy with you.

Building and construction is the process of creating structures and buildings, which in turn become property. This sector is at the core of our business - from small property renovations, such as adding a room, or renovation of a bathroom, to the multi-million Euro development of motorways, housing estates, shopping centres or office blocks.

Our contracts ensure that design, construction, operation and maintenance issues are considered as a whole to reduce potential claims. Roles and risk allocation are best set out clearly from the beginning.

We know the construction industry inside-out. You can rely on Noble for practical advice and options that come from our vast experience and understanding of the construction industry.

We have successfully litigated virtually every construction project related issue, including those involving contract interpretation; delay and disruption disputes claims; disputes relating to scope of work changes; differing site conditions; environmental issues; subrogation claims; complex insurance coverage issues; easements and condemnation matters; payment claims; construction defects; design deficiencies; and indoor air quality issues.

As construction law is often about document management in a litigious environment, we have invested heavily in a super modern document management system and have developed substantial experience in eDiscovery, both of which save our clients costs and time.

We bring efficiency, predictability, and consistency to the often costly task of eDiscovery. With an array of technological tools and vast experience, we can help streamline all phases of eDiscovery, including data mapping, identification, preservation, collection, processing, review, analytics, and production. We have extensive experience with predictive coding and other forms of advanced analytics that can be leveraged in document-intensive matters. We have a dedicated team of technical specialists who combine practical experience with technical know-how to achieve optimal results. We have experience in negotiating eDiscovery protocols, conducting custodial interviews, taking/defending eDiscovery depositions, prosecuting/defending eDiscovery motions, working with forensic experts and managing outside vendors.
