Dublin firm Arthur Cox has been named Ireland Law Firm of the Year 2016 at the International Financial Law Review (IFLR) Europe Awards in London.

It follows the firm’s recent triumph in the same category at the Who’s Who Legal awards ceremony in New York.

Arthur Cox also advised on five of the deals shortlisted in the Deals of the Year 2016 category.

The IFLR awards recognise legal innovation, rewarding firms and deals that break new legal ground and set market precedents.

The seventeenth annual awards ceremony took place in The Savoy.

Brian O’Gorman, managing partner at Arthur Cox, said: “We are delighted to have been recognised by IFLR. This is the third consecutive year that the firm has won this award. Awards such as this are testament to the consistently exceptional and often extremely complex work carried out by our teams across the firm.”
