Inward Investment

Ireland has succeeded in attracting some of the world’s largest organisations to establish operations here.

This includes some of the most advanced and leading companies in the technology, pharmaceutical, healthcare, food & beverage, manufacturing and financial services sectors. The lawyers in the group have advised the vast majority of multinationals who have established their EMEA headquarters in Ireland.

The group draws on its experience of working on transactions internationally and provides an integrated and client-orientated service from inception through to completion.

The group fulfils a pivotal project management role for international clients where continuity and having a dedicated point of contact consistently yields positive outcomes through efficient management and co-ordination of various work streams.

The group has extensive experience in dealing with the government agencies and authorities which have a role to play in the establishment, taxation and regulation of different types of operations in Ireland. The group has engaged with the Industrial Development Agency of Ireland (IDA) and the Department of Finance on various matters concerning the legal aspects of Ireland’s inward investment infrastructure.
