UK & Ireland

The Republic of Ireland’s position within the EU, combined with its close commercial relationship with the UK, gives it a particularly important role connecting the UK, European and international business. Since the UK’s departure from the EU, businesses operating across the two markets have faced additional regulatory and legal complexity, particularly around data, digital regulation, employment, trade and cross-border operations. This makes our ability to provide joined-up advice increasingly valuable for organisations navigating both UK and EU requirements.

Across both markets, regulation, technology and changing business models are creating new opportunities alongside increasingly complex risks. Our experience is particularly relevant where these pressures converge – from the transformation of financial services and insurance, to technology and digital business, evolving consumer and retail markets, and the changing risk landscape facing professional services firms. We bring together corporate, commercial, disputes, regulatory, employment, intellectual property, data and cyber expertise to help clients respond to change, manage risk and pursue growth.

Our coverage model combines direct specialist capabilities with trusted local relationships. Our UK offices act as a hub, connecting clients with carefully selected, best-in-class relationship firms in the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland where local expertise is required. We bring together the right experts for each matter and coordinate them as one integrated team, providing seamless support across jurisdictions.

For international clients and law firms, we provide a trusted gateway into the UK and Ireland, combining our specialist capabilities with established local relationships and extensive experience of cross-border matters. Equally, we support UK and Irish businesses pursuing opportunities internationally through our wider network of trusted firms. Our approach is built around the client and the matter – connecting the right sector expertise, legal capability and local knowledge to deliver practical, commercially focused advice wherever it is needed.
