‘We work with clients that make an impact’ JONATHAN KELLY
Managing Partner Philip Lee
ACTIVITY Over the past year business has remained strong and revenue has grown. Increasingly, we are instructed on complex, multi-jurisdictional transactions. We are committed to the principle of doing impactful work, and that is why we work with clients that make an impact. In 2022 we identified a gap in our service offering in the area of climate finance. Lev Gantly joined the firm and since then our marketleading
climate finance team now supports global clients on a range of transactional and advisory matters both in Ireland and internationally.
We represent clients on projects that have a meaningful impact on emission reductions, sustainable economic development, biodiversity enhancement, and improvement of livelihoods. We pride ourselves on being legal advisors to clients who share our values, and these values include taking all measures necessary to align economic development with the goals of the Paris Agreement and the Montreal Convention on Biological Diversity.
AI We take a cautious approach to the use of AI tools within the firm and have a rigid AI policy in place. Misinformation, breaches of client confidentiality, historical data breaches in generative AI platforms, and outdated information are all ongoing operational and ethical concerns. That being said, we do acknowledge the role that AI technologies play in the innovation of the legal services industry and fully embrace the appropriate use of AI within the firm.
OUTLOOK Ireland will continue to represent a strong value proposition for buyers and investors. The Brexit effect is relevant, whereby global businesses seeking M&A opportunities are likely to pursue Irish targets, given our unrestricted access to the world’s largest single market area.
