Our approach to mergers & acquisitions

We know how vital it is to make the right decision at every step of a merger or acquisition. Our end-to-end legal service covers everything you need, from initial consultation through to completion. Our opening consultation — available as a one or two-hour session — is designed to help us understand your situation, identify any potential pitfalls, and map out the road to a successful outcome. We aim to take as much of the work off your hands as possible, so you can get on with running your business.

Due diligence and cross-border transactions

We carry out comprehensive due diligence for all clients, identifying potential issues as early as possible and resolving them with a pragmatic approach. Many Irish mergers and acquisitions involve a cross-border element, bringing their own legal complexities — including potential tax benefits — which we are experienced in navigating.

A multidisciplinary team

We know that mergers and acquisitions require a multidisciplinary approach. We work closely with you and your shareholders, directors, investment advisors, accountants, and tax advisors throughout each transaction. Our corporate and commercial team also advises on related areas including banking and finance, corporate restructuring, and contracts — providing a full complement of services under one roof.

Experienced across the full spectrum. We act for high net worth individuals, private limited companies, domestic and international businesses, and financial institutions. No transaction is too complex.

What our clients say
