Overview
Lawyers at McCann FitzGerald specialise in business sectors as well as practice areas for maximum effectiveness. We organise ourselves around selected industries so that we can share the latest research, track competitive dynamics, stay abreast of relevant regulatory changes and track emerging industry trends. The depth and breadth of our industry experience, and our international perspective, are attributes that our clients value highly. We invest significant resources in acquiring, refining and sharing these capabilities to further benefit our clients.
Expertise
As well as focusing on industry developments we are keenly aware of the impact of Government policy for clients. In Ireland, a key element of the Irish Government’s framework for economic renewal is a focus on green enterprise. Despite its limited spending power, the Government is committed to the green economy, supporting many developments of strategic importance to Ireland’s economic recovery. For some years McCann FitzGerald has been one of the most active law firms in this sector, advising a range of market players across the key industry.
Similarly, in the area of the smart economy, the government has outlined a vision to make Ireland an innovation and commercialisation hub in Europe. As one of the first law firms to have developed a technology & innovation practice Group, McCann FitzGerald's lawyers are specialists in the smart economy sector with many having worked on a range of market leading initiatives. We believe that our in-depth experience from a number of perspectives – public and private sector, supplier and customer – means that we offer a unique perspective that matches client needs.
Combined with our client-focused approach we believe that the deep understanding we have developed of our clients' business environment as well as the regulatory and policy landscape in which they operate gives us a profound understanding of the commercial and legal issues that our clients face in their industry sectors.
