the client’s guide to the legal profession
Chambers and Partners have been publishing their world-famous guides to the legal profession since 1990. The key to the success of their legal directories and the validity of their awards is the in-depth, unbiased research conducted by their team of highly qualified and experienced researchers. Madden & Finucane has recently been awarded Lexcel accreditation for their high standards in providing legal services. Lexcel is the Law Society’s quality mark for excellence in legal practice management and excellence in client care. Madden & Finucane is now the largest Human Rights and Criminal Defence Practice in Ireland to receive this recognition. Madden & Finucane has recently been voted as one of the ‘Best Law Firms 2025’ in a Belfast Telegraph survey with recommendations from 1,084 legal experts across Ireland.
We are a member of the Childrens Order Panel and have solicitors who are specialists in dealing with all Children’s Law matters. We are a Home Charter Scheme Firm. The Home Charter Scheme was introduced in Belfast originally to meet the needs and interests of the public by ensuring that consistent good quality conveyancing practice was promoted. The Scheme is essentially a quality assurance mechanism directed primarily at processes. Compliance with the Scheme produces positive benefits in several different respects. It improves client satisfaction and reduces the risk of omission. The value of the Scheme has been widely acknowledged and has become the norm for the residential domestic conveyancing process. The promotion of good practice and uniformity of processes works to the overall benefit of clients.

“I fully recommend! Made a phone call and the team were absolutely brilliant. It was in regards to our family looking for justice with the troubles. They know what they’re doing.”
“Great services when dealing with clients”.
Madden and Finucane is regarded as one of the finest law firms in Ireland and quite rightly so. Any experience I’ve had with them has left me coming away very satisfied and the general vibe you get from this practice is that if you need representation or even just advice then you are being dealt with by the very best. When I approached ‘M&F’ about a legal matter I had I was dealt with in a very professional manner from beginning to end. As someone that knows only the basics of how things work in the world of law I was quite apprehensive about the matter I was having difficulty with but I was reassured from the very start and really felt safe knowing my case was being looked after by such a successful and knowledgeable firm. Highly recommended no matter what the case, Madden and Finucane will take care of it.
