Testimonials
Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.
‘The team is large, experienced and very collaborative (bringing in tax, IP, competition expertise from the firm where needed). They handle big ticket mergers and acquisitions, joint ventures, restructurings, and general company law matters. They’re also great at cross-border work, especially between Ireland, the UK, and the US.’
‘Ivor Banim is my go-to Irish corporate lawyer. It is very helpful that he is based in London. He is very intelligent and precise. He is very tuned in to the Irish market for legal services in London and brings in experts and support from the Dublin office as necessary to provide a seamless service.’
‘The team is fantastic, straightforward and extremely efficient. Most importantly though is there business sense and strategy to concluding matters with our mutual clients.’
‘The firm understands our niche and has a lot of experience across multiple lenders in our space. They know how to advise us, and our parameters on what is acceptable ricks in documents our deals.’
‘Very cohesive team. No duplication or redundancy in work flow. Without exception very personable and easy to work with. Very strong on project management and clear lines of communication - succinct emails at every level within the team.’
‘Ivor Banim is a straight shooter no-nonsense lawyer which I find very effective in large, complicated transactions. He is very bright but equally pragmatic and not frightened to make the unpopular decision if it is the best move for his client.’
