Our Private Equity and Venture Capital group is recognised as the leader in Ireland. The group's success is characterised by track record, deep experience of what is important for the private equity industry and sector-specific knowledge across a wide range of industries.

At the group's core is a 7 strong team of market leading Mergers & Acquisitions & Corporate (M&A) partners with deep private equity experience.

During 2011, we acted on more private equity transactions than any other Irish law firm and advised on the establishment of a significant number of new funds.
