Colman O’Loghlen returns to Dillon Eustace as funds partner
Dillon Eustace has announced the appointment of Colman O’Loghlen as a partner in the firm’s asset management and investment funds team.
Mr O’Loghlen originally trained with Dillon Eustace prior to qualifying as a solicitor in December 2011, but returns to the firm as a partner after spending just under five years in New York working for a global Am Law 100 firm.
He specialises in advising firms on regulatory and structural issues relating to the establishment, and management of all types of investment fund structures.
Dillon Eustace, with a 14-partner strong funds team, was recently ranked as one of Ireland’s top funds advisers, advising 1,200 Irish-domiciled funds in the year ending June 2020 – virtually tied for first place.
Commenting on the appointment, managing partner Donnacha O’Connor said: “We’re delighted that Colman has joined Dillon Eustace.
“Our continuous investment in people and our team of experts is critical to successfully supporting our large national and international client base, and this appointment will greatly contribute to strengthening our position as a leading Irish legal firm and advisor to Irish-domiciled funds.
“Brexit and the recent new ILP fund structure afford great growth opportunities for the Irish funds industry. In this context, Colman’s experience and expertise represent a great asset to our firm and more importantly our clients.”
During his time in New York, Mr O’Loghlen advised many of the world’s leading financial institutions and asset managers on the establishment, operation, corporate governance and registration of Irish regulated investment funds.
In particular, he advised on UCITS and alternative investment funds authorized under the AIFMD regime, and funds organized in other jurisdictions offered on a private basis (US and Cayman Islands).
