Overview

McCann FitzGerald's real estate team is recognised as among the very best in the area of advising in relation to landlord and tenant matters. Our broad practice incorporates many different elements of leasing advice, enabling us to see negotiations from the perspective of landlords, tenants, lenders and institutions.

Expertise

Our team acts as lead Irish counsel on property matters for several international and household tenant names on the occupier side. We also represent a number of high profile investor clients on the landlord side with substantial holdings across the spectrum of retail, office and industrial. Our banking and corporate support functions mean that we often review leasehold arrangements from the perspective of security and enforcement.  We have been involved in several of the most significant transactions in the lettings market over the past few decades, representing banks as occupiers, acting for institutional landlords, tenants and retail clients. Often we are the firm of choice for foreign entities looking to establish their Irish presence and headquarters and our track record on such high profile transactions is particularly impressive. Our experience of landlord and tenant issues often involves teams from across the firm from licensing and disputes to tax and banking.
