A unique fusion of business knowhow & legal intelligence
The firm is headed by Managing Director Michael Crilly, a dual qualified barrister and solicitor who has been advising businesses and individuals since 1999. Bulldog Law clients benefit not only from his extensive legal knowledge and experience as an advocate and solicitor in private practice, but also from his substantial commercial and practical business experience gained as a former in-house counsel to a leading international internet company and as a legal adviser to all types of organisations - large and small.
Under Michael’s leadership we always deliver the best team of lawyers to meet your needs no matter what the complexity or value is.
