Mr Kelly advises international and domestic clients on all aspects of debt capital markets transactions.

His specialisation is in structured finance, CLO, ABS and other securitisation products, as well as prime brokerage services (including derivatives, repos, securities lending and crypto trading).

He also advises on regulatory issues relating to the trading of financial instruments and digital assets.

Mr Kelly is the current president of the EU and international affairs committee of the Law Society of Ireland and regularly chairs working groups of the Irish Debt Securities Association (IDSA).
