Ireland > Insolvency and corporate restructuring
Dentons Ireland LLP has a major focus on insolvency and corporate restructuring. It has close links to a multitude of insolvency practitioners and financial investors in insolvency and restructuring engagements. The Dublin team has a fine record in domestic and cross-border matters, with Gareth Steen and newly promoted partner Gemma Freeman specialising in this area.
Ireland > Dispute resolution
Dentons Ireland LLP has significantly expanded its dispute resolution team following the headline hire of ‘top notch‘ Karyn Harty in September 2022, who now leads department in Dublin and co-heads the global practice. Since then, partner Ciara FitzGerald and of counsel Lesley Caplin have arrived from McCann FitzGerald LLP and Gemma Freeman has been promoted to partner. They also link up with insolvency disputes specialist Gareth Steen. The Dublin-based team now represents numerous international and domestic corporates and has landed a series of large cross-border dispute engagements, as well as representing clients in regulatory matters. This has included major contractual disputes, shareholder oppression proceedings and fraud cases.
