Business law firm Mason Hayes & Curran has announced the appointment of Ursula McMahon as partner in its charity & not-for-profit team.

At a time when charities face heightened scrutiny and evolving regulation, McMahons’s proven judgment and governance expertise is expected to empower clients to protect their reputation and manage compliance with confidence.

Boards and trustees value her practical advice, especially when it comes to managing risk and strengthening governance.

“Ursula is a trusted adviser with a deep understanding of the sector and a real feel for what clients need," said Niamh Callaghan, head of Mason Hayes & Curran's charity & not-for-profit team.

"Her calm, no-nonsense approach is hugely valued by boards and senior teams. We’re so pleased to welcome her to the team.”

Commenting on her appointment, McMahon said: "It’s a privilege to work with organisations that do so much good throughout society.

"I’m proud to join the team and continue helping clients build strong, well-governed organisations that are equipped for the road ahead.”
