Partner and co-head of the Finance and Capital Markets team in Ireland, Noeleen Ruddy, has been named Insurance & Reinsurance Lawyer of the Year at the Women in Business Law Awards for 2024. The ceremony was held on 26 June in London, with Walkers also being shortlisted in the jurisdictional award for Ireland. 
 
This award comes off the back of another Women in Business Law Awards win for Noeleen in 2022, where she received the award for Structured Finance Lawyer of the Year. The Women in Business Law Awards recognise the achievements of women lawyers across the world and go through a comprehensive submission and research process. 
 
On receiving the honour, Noeleen said: 
 
"I'm absolutely delighted to have received this award. As a woman in business law this accolade is especially meaningful. Thank you to my clients, friends and colleagues at Walkers - your support means a lot."
 
Jonathan Sheehan, managing partner of the Dublin office noted that: 
 
"This award is tremendously well-deserved recognition of the hard work and impeccable service that Noeleen provides to her clients and of her market leading reinsurance practice in Ireland which is one of the many highlights of our global Insurance practice group. This is the second time that Noeleen has been named lawyer of the year in one of her practice areas. As a firm we are incredibly proud of the work Noeleen and her team does and we look forward to continued success."
