We are also very proud to be recognised as the leading law firm in Ireland by number of domiciled funds for the first time and to be the first law firm to advise Irish domiciled funds with assets exceeding €1 trillion. These achievements have been made possible by the confidence our clients have placed in Ireland as a funds domicile and the investment we have made in our people, who remain our greatest asset.”
