Practice Areas

Our Company Secretarial Team specialises in providing technical and practical support to companies on good corporate governance and statutory compliance of Irish companies and branches.  The importance of the company secretary and the level of his or her responsibilities are increasing as a result of the complex legal requirements placed on all Irish registered companies and our specialised team has extensive experience in helping clients meet those obligations.

Effective corporate governance cannot be achieved without the right resources to support that essential objective.  We can offer your business a company secretarial service through the provision of advice to those with company secretarial responsibilities within your organisation, or by acting as company secretary on your behalf.  We can ensure that you have the right measures in place to minimise any risk and satisfy your statutory obligations.

Our practice profile has a significant international aspect and we are adept at knowing how Irish corporates fit into wider international group structures.  For this reason too, we have developed a reputation for advising group portfolio companies and companies in the financial services and investment funds sectors on their company secretarial requirements.
