Testimonials

  • ‘Tughans, and particularly John McGuckian, were excellent in a major acquisition my company was completing in GB. The entire team demonstrated a fantastic breadth of knowledge with a wealth of experience. It was a complex deal, and their guile and tenacity in getting the deal across the line was superb. I couldn't recommend Tughans highly enough.’

  • ‘John McGuckian was so impressive across the detail of every aspect of the deal; he was calm, collected, but had an erudite focus to understand the issues and, more importantly, to navigate a solution. The entire team of people involved at Tughans were truly marvellous throughout this process and indeed in all matters over the past 10 years that I have had the privilege of working with them.’
