FirstCPD is a joint venture of First Law and PrimeLearning, two leading Irish firms in the legal and education fields.

First Law

First Law was founded in January 1998 by its Managing Director Bart D. Daly, BL. Bart was previously involved in publishing in the traditional format. His first venture was founding the Round Hall Press in 1981 and later Brehon publishing. Prior to the establishment of First Law, he was managing director of Round Hall Sweet & Maxwell. First Law was established to bring Irish law to practitioners in an immediate, searchable electronic format.

First Law has also produced a host of legal books, including the award-winning Going to Court.
