ACE is pleased to welcome Carson McDowell as a new legal affiliate! 

Carson McDowell, headquartered in Belfast, is Northern Ireland’s largest independent law firm, with experts working across more specialist legal areas than any other local firm. It is the law firm of choice for many of Northern Ireland's Top 100 companies, employing 150 people (including 25 partners) and advising a broad spectrum of local and international businesses operating in Northern Ireland.

Since its inception in 1852, Carson McDowell is a law firm that has consistently recruited the best legal talent and which, as a result, is made up of a diverse range of talented people. It is these people who have helped the firm build a reputation for providing exceptional legal advice and client service.

Based in Belfast, Carson McDowell is the leading Northern Irish firm in the most recent edition of the Chambers UK Guide, ranking number one across more practice areas than any other local firm, with 100 per cent of its partners listed within the guide. The firm was commended in 23 different practice areas and ranked in more band one categories of expertise than any other local firm.​

Carson McDowell will exclusively serve Northern Ireland ACE members. With existing ACE legal affiliates servicing Scotland, England and Wales, we now have preferred legal providers covering the whole of UK.

For members in Northern Ireland (or those willing to travel!), a free introductory presentation entitled "Brexit - The effect on Construction Consultancies and Procurement" will be held by Carson McDowell on Wednesday 23rd November, 12.30 to 14.00 at Malone House, Barnett Demesne, Belfast.
