Expertise
Our strong client relationships and extensive M&A experience means that we tend to be the adviser of choice in the larger and more complex public and private company M&A transactions in Ireland and the larger international cross-border deals with a significant Irish dimension. Whether deals involve take-privates of public companies, structuring complex acquisitions of widely-held private companies, joint ventures, reorganisations or completing major takeovers (sometimes by scheme of arrangement), we consistently provide our clients with creative, market-driven solutions.
We advise buyers, sellers and financial advisers on both public and private mergers and acquisitions, and private equity buyers on private equity financed deals. We deliver the full range of services which apply to an M&A transaction working in multi-disciplinary teams with lawyers from our specialist groups.
