Working at Trenches Law

Originally the vision of founder Sharon McDermott – a commercially-astute lawyer with over 20 years’ telecoms and technology experience – Trenches has grown to be one of the most renowned legal firms in this fast-growth sector.

Recognising the pace and complexity of the electronic communications industry – not least when it comes to Code Powers and Wayleaves – we have filled an important gap in the market. And, we believe we’re nothing like your average legal practice.

Our collegiate is made up of strategic professionals who have lived and breathed the world of fibre, connectivity and technological infrastructure, for most of their careers. We also work hard to recruit specialists local to clients’ projects as nobody will know the area quite like them. As a result, we speak the same language as our clients, know how and when to take and manage risks that support business growth, and provide proactive advice to aid legislative compliance every step of the way.
