Mergers and Acquisitions in Ireland

All businesses have a life cycle. Mergers and acquisitions are a natural part of this cycle. This is especially true in Ireland, where the recession forced many companies to adapt, be it through mergers, acquisitions, or restructuring. This trend has continued into the current boom and has no sign of reducing in volume.

We carry out comprehensive due diligence for our clients, protecting our client’s position, and assets. All potential issues are identified as early as possible and resolved with a pragmatic approach.

Many Irish company mergers and acquisitions involve a cross-border element. They have their own set of legal complexities and challenges that need to be addressed and resolved, as well as the potential benefits such as possible tax relief.

I instructed the firm in relation to a sale of a business. It was a relatively large transaction. The service provided by Peter & his colleagues was excellent. They had the technical and legal expertise to get the deal finalised efficiently. The firm kept me informed at all times, But they also appreciated that it was a challenge for the parties involved so they made a special effort to reassure me throughout the process particularly when the deal threw up a few spanners in the works. These issues some of which were potentially deal breakers were resolved to the satisfaction of all sides. Peter is very approachable and nothing is too much trouble. Peter is assisted in these types of matters by Ali whose technical and legal knowledge is second to none.
