A Brief History
David merged his original family firm, DJ Synnott Solicitors, with his late brother Alan Synnott’s Lawline Solicitors to form Synnott Lawline. By combining these two highly successful family firms, Synnott Lawline has become one of the most comprehensive, dynamic and versatile legal firms in Ireland today.
The success of Synnott Lawline is built on the principles of its founder, David Synnott. For over 35 years, David has been a highly respected leader and innovator in the legal sphere. The Synnott family has practised law in Ireland for the best part of a century, uniquely positioning Synnott Lawline as a distinguished leader in Irish law. When William Synnott qualified as a solicitor in 1936, he began a legal legacy that continues to this day through his sons, David Synnott (Principal of Synnott Lawline), Alan Synnott (Founder of Lawline), and now his grandchildren, Michelle Synnott.

History of Synnott Lawline
David Synnott (the brother of the late Alan Synnott) is the senior partner and founder of DJ Synnott, now Synnott Lawline. He has practised law for more than 35 years, fifteen of which have been dedicated exclusively to personal injury.
Lawline was founded by the late Alan Synnott in 1994. Lawline was one of the first firms of Solicitors in Ireland to specialise in personal injury law and from the outset the firm dealt exclusively in the handling of personal injury compensation claims. David and Alan recognised their firms could achieve a standard of excellence second to none and thus delivered legal services of the highest quality to clients since.
Tragically, Alan passed away in 2003 at aged only 44 and so Lawline was taken over at that point by Alan’s brother David, himself a dedicated personal injury Solicitor, and the firm continues to prosper under David’s stewardship.
The 2 firms have amalgamated their legal expertise to provide customers with a full range of legal services, including: Personal Injury Claims, Medical Negligence Claims, and Cosmetic Surgery Claims. The firm also has a specialised department providing services in Family Law, Conveyancing and Probate.

No Win No Fee Explained
No Win No Fee – The legal term used to describe how solicitors take on a case where they pay the costs of the litigation. Irish Law Firms who operate on this basis pay for the medical reports, expert fees and other legal costs associated with your injury case. It’s common for specialised personal injury firms to operate on a “no win no fee” basis. Solicitors are not allowed to advertise no win no fee services.
Start your injury case
If you’ve suffered injury, loss, damage or expense as a result of another party’s negligent act or omission, you may be entitled to claim from that party or their insurers. Starting a case with our legal team is a seamless process. Subject to strict exceptions, you have two years from the date of your accident to commence legal proceedings. A different claims policy applies to children under 18.
What can I claim for?
Personal Injury Claim amounts are difficult to value at the outset of any case, but the value of your case in terms of General Damages will depend on the severity of the injury, the pain, suffering and inconvenience caused by the length of time to recover and the prognosis for the future. In addition, you are entitled to claim for all financial losses and expenses sustained by you as a result of the accident.
