Our story

Johnson Hana is Ireland's first and only independent ALSP. Founded by brothers Dan and Alex Fox in 2017, Johnson Hana was created when they identified that most of the work being carried out by traditional law firms was routine in nature and should be treated differently to legal advisory services. They created Johnson Hana therefore to deal specifically with legal process work.
