Malcomson & Law, Carlow

Malcomson Law was founded in 1858 in Carlow by Robert Malcomson, a member of a well-known Waterford family of tanners. When Robert K Law joined the firm it became Malcomson & Law. The firm name has remained long after the original founders retired.

In 1984, Malcomson & Law amalgamated with the Carlow firm of Frank Lanigan Solicitors, and became Frank Lanigan, Malcomson & Law. As the practice expanded, it became a well-known and successful firm in Carlow and the surrounding counties with thriving commercial, family law and property departments.

In 1996, solicitor Raymond Bradley opened the Dublin office near the Four Courts in the legal district in Smithfield. He rebranded the practice as Malcomson Law and built up a specialist medical negligence and health law division.
