About Dr Gerald Kean
Dr Gerald Kean qualified as a solicitor in 1980 and established Keans Solicitors in Dublin in 1988. Over more than three decades, he has built one of Dublin’s most recognised legal practices, with offices in Dublin city centre and Lucan and a team handling personal injury, property, family, employment, wills, and commercial work.
Gerald is known across Ireland as a leading legal commentator, regularly contributing to national television and radio panels on legal matters affecting Irish society. His public work includes legal analysis on RTÉ, Newstalk, and other major outlets, and he has long been associated with making complex legal issues accessible to the general public.
Under his leadership, Keans has built a reputation for direct, plain-English advice and a willingness to take on cases that others might pass on. The firm prides itself on accessibility and on representing clients from every walk of life with the same diligence whether the matter is a small personal injury claim or a complex commercial dispute.
