Dublin firm Matheson has been awarded eight Deals of the Year 2016 by the monthly Finance Dublin publication.

Five of the awards relate to international corporate and financial services sector deals, including three which relate to Irish financial services sector deals with an international profile, while another three relate to significant M&A transactions.

Michael Jackson, managing partner at Matheson, said: “These awards are further testimony to our firm’s outstanding capabilities in international corporate and financial services transactions.

“The experience our lawyers have gained over many decades in serving the Irish legal needs of internationally focused companies and financial institutions doing business in and from Ireland allows Matheson to support and advise our clients on their most innovative, strategic and market leading deals.

“The accolades particularly highlight Matheson’s credentials in the M&A sector, a sector in which activity in Ireland reached a seven-year high last year. I congratulate my colleagues across our four international offices for their outstanding and innovative work on these award-winning deals and I thank our clients for choosing Matheson to support them on these transactions.”
