  • ‘Niall Best is straight to the point, business oriented and a practical adviser. ’

  • ‘Garreth O'Brien is the lead partner I have dealt with on all transactions. From my perspective, in what was a long engagement, his key abilities were being able to keep all parties focused on the key issues at hand each time and his knowledge of the industry specific issues were of great benefit. His availability, despite the extended nature of the transaction, was always immediate.'

  • ‘Ciara O'Herlihy really drove the matter forward with an excellent skill of coordination with multiple parties of different disciplines from different jurisdictions, having brought our deal to a speedy close.’

  • ‘Stephen Fuller is very practical and resourceful.’

  • ‘Garreth O'Brien and Grace McKnight stand out for several reasons. Firstly they explain the risks/benefits clearly and succinctly. Their experience and knowledge has been invaluable during a long process of gaining agreement across a group of people. Their preparation in advance of group meetings has been meticulous. They're also friendly and easy to work with, which is not always the case. ’

  • ‘Rory O'Malley - exceptional as the partner, never an issue.’

  • ‘Stephen Fitzsimons - very knowledgeable and gives clear advice.’
