Matheson has been named the best International Firm in the Americas at the International Tax Review’s 12th annual Americas Tax Awards.

The firm said the award, granted at a ceremony in New York, recognises the work undertaken by the firm’s tax group and its position as Ireland’s leading tax advisory practice.

It also recognises Matheson’s footprint in the US, with tax principal John Ryan and partner Alan Keating in New York, and partner Mark O’Sullivan leading offices in San Francisco and Palo Alto.

Speaking about the win, Mr O’Sullivan said: “A prestigious award such as this is tremendous market recognition of the high profile work that we are consistently delivering for our clients.

“It reflects the strong commitment of the firm to our US clients with Irish operations, and our significant work on cross border tax matters involving unique Irish tax considerations for US multinational companies.”
