International law firm Walkers has welcomed Jody Toner back to the firm as a partner and head of its Irish real estate team.
Mr Toner, previously a member of the firm’s real estate team for seven years, has extensive experience in real estate and real estate finance, spanning over 20 years across banking and property law in private practice as well as in-house at one of Ireland’s major financial institutions.
He was admitted as a solicitor in Ireland in 2005 and has obtained diplomas in construction law and commercial property awarded by the Law Society of Ireland. His expertise covers the full range of banking, real estate finance, commercial property, construction, and landlord and tenant transactions.
Jonathan Sheehan, managing partner of Walkers’ Dublin office, said: “It’s great to have Jody back on board to lead our real estate team in Ireland. Jody is exceptionally well liked by clients and colleagues alike and his skill, diligence and market insight are extremely valuable assets to our clients and to the firm.”
Walkers’ real estate practice in Ireland advises on all aspects of Irish real estate-related transactions. The team delivers legal advice covering real estate acquisitions and disposals on a leveraged and unleveraged basis as well as the establishment of real estate acquisition and holding structures for a broad domestic and international client base.
Mr Toner said: “I’m delighted to return to Walkers to head up our real estate practice in Dublin. Great firm, great colleagues, great clients and I’m really excited to have the opportunity to work together again on achieving great results for our clients and the firm.”
