Jackie Buckley is Head of the Property and Private Client Department in Hayes solicitors. In recent years, she has established a niche practice in advising clients in the banking, public and retail sector. She has been involved in some of the most prestigious developments over the past number of years. She has assisted her retail clients in the sale, purchase, lease and development of substantial retail stores, including mixed, residential and commercial centres.

During the course of the past year, she has also been involved in advising on the property aspect of mergers, acquisitions and management buy outs.

Having regard to the current economic climate, she has been involved in advising landlords and tenants on their options in insolvency situations. She has sought to achieve results for her clients which are both workable and practical. In particular, she has advised landlords on how to recover possession of their properties and arrears of rent which has resulted in litigation in many cases. She has advised tenants on how to achieve a restructuring of their existing relationship with their landlords in order to assist them through difficult periods.

She has also advised clients on the restructuring of their affairs with the banks and on the security documentation required including the giving of guarantees.

She also advises professionals such as medical practitioners and accountants and dentists on regularising their property affairs. She advises on the property side of Partnership Agreements and has advised on and drafted appropriate Co-Ownership Agreements. She has also written articles for publication on these issues and has lectured to relevant professional bodies.

Through her participation in the Dublin Solicitors Bar Association and in particular the Conveyancing Committee, she has been involved in the making of submissions for The Law Society of Ireland which has impacted on how property transactions are carried out and the giving of commercial undertakings in property transactions.

She holds a Diploma in Property Taxation and a Diploma in Commercial Property. She was awarded the Findlaters Scholarship by The Law Society of Ireland in 2000.

She has been described by clients as being “meticulous with amazing attention to detail” and as “being approachable and commercially minded”.
