Gillian O'Connor
Founder and Consultant
Gillian has been a practicing solicitor for over 40 years and is a Founding Partner of the Firm.
Initially working in Civil and then Defence medical negligence for various Health Boards, she subsequently joined her Partner Michael Boylan and has specialised solely in Plaintiff Clinical negligence for over 30 years.
In November 2019 following a 6-week trial, Gillian settled the lead Narcolepsy case against the Dept of Health, GSK and others. The Plaintiff claimed damages for contracting Narcolepsy/Cataplexy following the administration of the Swine Flu Vaccine, Pandemrix, in 2009.
In 2020, she negotiated the first ad hoc scheme ever, to compensate victims of the Pandemrix Swine Flu Vaccine.
To date, approximately €100m has been paid in damages through mediations, to the firm’s Pandemrix vaccine victims.
The process is still ongoing.
Gillian is an MA (Hons) graduate of University College Dublin.
