Marika Monaghan

I qualified as a solicitor in 2001 and worked for Allen Ticehurst for 10 years before the merger with Mayo Wynne Baxter in 2012. My main areas of expertise are property litigation and employment law.

In terms of property litigation, I regularly deal with disputes regarding rights of way, boundary/neighbour disputes and claims for adverse possession, plus residential and commercial landlord and tenant disputes ranging from possession proceedings, service charge disputes and dilapidation claims. My expertise in these areas has been recognised by the independent legal guide known as the Legal 500 in which I am described as “highly experienced in contentious rural property work and commercial landlord and tenant matters”

On the employment side, I advise on everything from contracts and settlement agreements to unfair dismissals, redundancies and discrimination cases and am a member of the Employment Lawyers Association.

I also deal with contentious probate, company and partnership disputes and breach of contract claims.

Disputes can be distressing for those involved and the issues at stake are often of considerable importance. I find it very satisfying to be able to assist clients in achieving the best possible outcome for their particular case and to be able to support them through what is often a challenging process.

Outside of work I enjoy long country walks with my family, gardening and visiting National Trust sites.

“From my initial outreach to Mayo Wynne Baxter to closing my case, the whole process was seamless. Marika was helpful and professional. I liaised with Victoria for documents and she was very quick to reply to my emails and assist me. I would thoroughly recommend this company.”

“The company I work for has recently been represented by James O’Connell and Marika Monoghan from Mayo Wynne Baxter, on a sensitive legal matter having been recommended to the company from a colleague. From the outset, their professionalism and expertise were evident. Both James and Marika showed an exceptional understanding of the complexities involved, guiding the business through the process with clarity and compassion. What stood out most was their supportive approach. They provided not just legal advice but also a sense of reassurance during what was a challenging time. Their ability to blend professionalism with genuine care and support was remarkable. Their communication was exemplary throughout. We were kept informed at every stage, and they were always available to answer any questions or concerns we had, making a potentially overwhelming process much more manageable. Both James and Marika ensured even during their summer vacation time our case was overlooked and at one time James even took the time to talk to myself during his leave. Most importantly, I developed a deep sense of trust in both James and Marika. They handled my case with the utmost discretion and integrity, ensuring a favourable outcome. I am incredibly grateful for their assistance and would highly recommend their services to anyone in need of legal support. Their combination of legal acumen and empathetic support is truly commendable.”
