Who We Are?

Our Story:
The Foundation of Ormonde Solicitors

For over 15 years, Ormonde Solicitors has been a cornerstone of legal expertise and compassionate client care in Waterford and beyond. Founded by Seán Ormonde, a qualified solicitor with a Bachelor of Business and Legal Studies Degree from UCD and a Diploma in Employment Law from the Law Society of Ireland, the firm reflects Seán’s passion for delivering practical, client-focused legal solutions.

The Ormonde name is deeply rooted in Waterford’s history, with three generations of Ormondes proudly serving the community for over a century. This legacy of trust, integrity, and service continues to shape our approach, ensuring every client feels supported and understood.
