Corporate and M&A

Our corporate mergers and acquisitions lawyers are based around the world and have the experience to advise you on any M&A deal or major strategic project.

We are committed to helping your business navigate increasingly complex transactions.

That’s why it’s so important to us not only to provide you with high-quality legal advice, but to deliver it consistently around the globe. We’re a truly global law firm, with over 700 corporate mergers and acquisitions lawyers working seamlessly together from our offices around the world. The majority of our work is on highly strategic cross-border deals, and our local knowledge, specific to each jurisdiction, is essential to these deals being successful. 

We work for major global clients on sophisticated, substantial, complex transactions - and we know that mergers and acquisitions are highly strategic deals that can determine the future of your company. We can handle the pressure. Our lawyers have a wealth of experience advising on high-value strategic projects - and we can also help you with smaller transactions that are important to you. Whether your business is public or private, we understand the challenges and opportunities that are inherent in M&A deals.

Our lawyers work for major global corporates and private equity houses across every industry - so deep sector knowledge underpins our extensive legal experience. Regardless which sector you are in, from financial services or aerospace, consumer products or healthcare, insurance or technology, we understand the market context and regulatory frameworks affecting your area of business, and the impact they might have on transactions. This in-depth sector knowledge allows us to add real value to the M&A process - and gives your ambitions the best chance of succeeding.

In Ireland our team of lawyers, consultants and tax advisors work collaboratively on the leading international and domestic M&A transactions. Our recent experience includes advising:

  • an Ireland-based financial services and financial technology company and an employee benefit trust on a widely publicized sale of its group of companies to a leading Irish retail bank
  • a client on the sale of its entire shareholding in the capital of a US-headquartered global e-commerce technology company
  • an Austrian building materials supplier on its acquisition of the entire issued share capital of an Ireland-based manufacturer and UK-based manufacturer in a transaction value exceeding €300 million
  • a leading UK-based asset manager in relation to all Irish legal and tax obligations arising on the purchase of the entire share capital of an Irish-owned asset manager
  • a private equity firm in the acquisition of an Irish headquartered global aviation group
