Representatives of Matheson’s Corporate team were pleased, again this year, to author the Practical Law Country Q&A: Corporate Governance and Directors’ Duties in Ireland: Overview.
The 2026 Q&A gives a high-level overview of the main forms of corporate entity used; the corporate governance legal framework; board composition and restrictions; directors’ remuneration; management rules and authority; directors’ duties and liabilities; transactions with directors and conflicts; and internal controls, accounts and audits. This year’s Q&A has been updated to include detail on the new Irish Corporate Governance Code and the latest on corporate sustainability rules.
This Q&A guide first appeared on the Thomson Reuters website and can be found here: Corporate Governance and Directors’ Duties in Ireland: Overview
