Our Managing Partner, Will Carmody, shared his insights in the Reports Legal Ireland Report 2025. The publication explores how Ireland’s leading law firms are responding to international uncertainty, evolving client needs and growing competition for legal talent.

Highlighting our position as the number one legal adviser in Ireland for M&A by deal volume, the report states:

“The latest Mergermarket data shows that MHC has since taken pole position as number one legal adviser in Ireland for M&A by deal volume: in the first nine months of 2025, MHC advised on 38 transactions.”

In his contribution, Will discussed Ireland’s economic resilience, the strength of foreign investment and the firm’s continued growth across key sectors. He also reflected on the outlook for multinational clients operating in Ireland, commenting:

“In FDI industries in particular, there’s 50 years and billions of dollars of investment by US companies in Ireland – in bricks and mortar, in people and in highly advanced manufacturing facilities, across pharmaceuticals, medical devices and chip manufacturers. We genuinely don’t see that being uprooted over two, three or four years.
The fundamental reasons why those businesses came to Ireland – political stability, English speaking, European base, competitive tax regime, strong legal protections, a highly skilled workforce – remain. The Irish operations of those companies are deeply embedded in their global supply chains.”

The report also includes Will’s views on the opportunities arising in regulated and innovation-driven areas such as technology, financial services and life sciences.
