Ms Daly joins the firm from McCann FitzGerald, where she has practised for six years. She has experience in advising on corporate and financial services tax matters with a particular focus on tax issues relevant to financial institutions and on structuring financial services transactions including banking operations, structured finance and securitisation vehicles, investment funds and asset managers, pension funds and tax disputes.

“Tim and Melissa are very welcome additions to our team and I wish them every success in their new roles.”
