Practice Areas

Our Tax Group provides an internationally experienced team of multi-disciplinary partners and professionals to provide innovative and leading edge tax services to its international corporate and individual client base.

Our service offering is focussed on companies and individuals using Ireland as part of their global tax management strategy.  We regularly work with tax counsel from overseas practices on mergers and acquisitions, corporate migration, banking and investment funds.

Ireland’s membership of the EU, its regulatory regime, the 12.5% corporate tax rate, various tax credit relief regimes and tax exemptions in respect of certain activities provides a unique platform to structure international business in and through Irish corporate and other vehicles. 

Our tax professionals include the former chairman of the tax committee of the Irish Law Society, a senior representative from the Irish inward investment State Agency (the “IDA”), a member of the leading select joint Revenue and Practitioner Committee (“TALC”) on corporation tax matters affecting international groups and numerous multiple qualified tax practitioners with international corporate experience.

Our services include advising on:

• Structuring multinational corporate activities in and through Ireland
• Use of Ireland as a location to build and develop a European, Middle East and African hub
• Corporate inversions into Ireland
• Use of Irish resident holding companies
• Ireland as a location for intellectual property
