Molly Groome

I am an associate in our International Intellectual Property and Dispute Resolution Group, based in the Dublin office where I specialise in contentious IP and commercial disputes.

I have experience advising clients on a broad range of complex commercial disputes with particular interest and expertise in contentious IP disputes and technology matters. I have advised a wide range of clients from start-ups to international PLCs, working with founders, family-run business owners and entrepreneurs.
I trained and qualified in a top Irish commercial law firm, Prior to beginning my formal professional training, I was a paralegal with Bird & Bird's Competition team in Belgium office in 2019, so I am glad to have returned to the Bird & Bird team in Dublin.
