Derry students win NI Regional Client Consultation Competition

The Society hosted the 2025 Northern Ireland regional of the Client Consultation Competition at Law Society House in Belfast last month. The topic this year was consumer contracts.

It was a fiercely contested Competition, with all Northern Ireland law schools contributing a team. Ultimately, the winning team was the Magee Campus at Ulster University which consisted of Conán McGowan and Níall McGrattan.

The winners will now go forward to compete in the 2025 Brown Mosten International Client Consultation Competition in Scotland, hosted by the University of Glasgow from April 9-12. They will receive a financial contribution from the Society towards their attendance.

The Judging Panel was Chaired by Niall Hargan (Carson McDowell) and included Tony Caher (Campbell and Caher), Catherine Nixon (Departmental Solicitor’s Office) and Shauna Thompson (Law Society of Northern Ireland). A special thanks also to Mr Caher for his time and effort in composing the scenario.
