About ALAINA HOGAN:

Alaina graduated with a Master of Laws (Criminal Justice) from University College Cork in 2010 and qualified as a solicitor in 2014. She holds a Bachelor degree in Civil Law and is a member of The Law Society of Ireland and Tipperary Solicitors Bar' Association.

Alaina was selected by her peers as a finalist for Lawyer of the Year at the Irish Law Awards 2017 for her extraordinary work on the seminal ‘defective medical device’ case of Gillian O’Sullivan v. DePuy International Limited – the first judgement against DePuy in any European national court in respect of the DePuy ASR defective hip implant. 

Alaina’s areas of practice are focussed on defective medical device litigation and medical negligence, particularly cancer misdiagnosis and gynaecological negligence both in terms of cancers and harm caused to women in the course of gynaecological surgery and injuries during childbirth.  
 
Outside of Law, interests include travel, reading and GAA, most notably as a loyal follower of her native Galway.
