Expertise
From the unprecedented period of correction in the Irish property market to a new landscape dominated by the NAMA intervention, McCann FitzGerald is at the centre of the real estate marketplace in Ireland. We work closely to support our clients and are involved in market-leading, complex and innovative transactions.
Our continuous exposure to the market, and our knowledge of key trends, provides us with a unique opportunity to add value to our clients. We advise on the sale, purchase and refinancing of commercial properties including large office buildings, industrial properties, shopping centres, hospitals and health clinics. We advise domestic individuals and companies on secured lending transactions, project financings, bankruptcies and restructurings that contain significant real estate components. In addition, we have, over recent decades, garnered an international reputation for excellence, which has won us many instructions from foreign intermediaries and new clients. Most recently we have worked very closely with a number of Ireland’s leading financial institutions which are participating in the NAMA scheme.
Our experience is that clients have many different factors to consider such as tax and financing issues, choice of transaction structures as well as planning and building permit issues. We advise on these and related matters, such as environment and EU Law, and our total offering often draws on expertise from others in the firm.
