We are consistently ranked as a leading finance and capital markets law firm in Ireland.  Our Finance and Capital Markets team consists of more than 50 lawyers and comprises some of the most experienced finance lawyers in Ireland. The team advises on all forms of finance and capital markets transactions in Ireland. We act for all of the major Irish banks and financial institutions, corporate borrowers and many of the world's leading international banks, investment managers and investment funds, securities and derivatives trading houses, broker dealers, insurance companies, alternative finance providers, supranational organisations, rating agencies, trustees and other financial services firms in relation to their lending, borrowing, finance and capital markets transactions and arrangements. We are actively involved in, and hold representative positions on, numerous industry organisations and trade bodies and have been instrumental in proposing, drafting and advising on many changes to finance and capital markets legislation in Ireland. We are often involved in innovative and cutting-edge transactions in Ireland, from advising on market-leading acquisition financings, loan sales transactions, bond issues and refinancings, to the establishment of the first Irish repackaging platforms, to advising on the first Sukuk bond issued under Irish tax law, to advising on Europe’s first marketplace lending securitisation, to assisting a number of the current top ten aircraft lessors in establishing their leasing platforms in Ireland and  to advising on a number of fund finance transactions involving the recently updated Irish investment limited partnership structure (and other regulated and unregulated Irish funds). We were the first Irish law firm to win the European Financial Services Tax Deal of the Year as awarded by the International Tax Review.
