We have partnered with countless international companies, from global enterprises to fast growing venture-backed start-ups, to seamlessly guide our clients through legal, tax and commercial issues that arise when doing business in Ireland.
This advice typically ranges from the day-to-day business requirements such as employment, banking and finance, commercial/corporate, tax, corporate governance, property/real estate, company secretarial & compliance, and regulatory, to specialist niche advice including intellectual property & patents, data protection, mergers & acquisitions and outsourcing. We also have a dedicated company secretarial team for multinational clients. We recognise the importance of accessibility, speed of response and confidentiality to the foreign direct investor.
Our team of commercially focused legal professionals are dedicated to promoting and enabling inward investment in Ireland. We maintain strong links with the Industrial Development Association (IDA), other State, legal and regulatory agencies and the service provider community. This enables us to streamline the process of gathering information and project planning which you and your business may require.
We also work with many international law firms on the complex legal issues that arise in cross-border re-organisations and integration projects. Through our membership of the International Law Network, we maintain close relationships with leading law firms around the world. We frequently put together teams of lawyers worldwide to advise on cross-border transactions and cases. We manage the provision of legal advice and remain accountable to our clients for service delivery and quality.
In short, while you focus on scaling your international business, we will seamlessly manage your international legal requirements.
