About

Joining several other American headquartered internet companies setting up in Ireland, Etsy, an online marketplace allowing people to make, sell and buy unique goods, has had a presence in the country since 2015. Ronan Davy, senior international counsel, leads the legal team focused on providing legal support from Etsy’s international headquarters in Dublin. Spanning a range of practice areas, the fast-moving market sector of ecommerce necessitates agile legal and regulatory counsel across an international remit. The team manages the legal challenges of operating in both the retail sector, including consumer protections and intellectual property management, and the internet space, including data privacy and authenticity of goods or retailers. Working with business colleagues, the team upholds the reputation of Etsy as a safe digital marketplace for the exchange of goods.
