Squire Patton Boggs Ireland established a strong corporate and M&A practice in 2023 with the hire of prominent partners Dennis Agnew (‘very responsive, very commercial’) and George Kennedy (’hugely experienced, readily available and very helpful‘); both have a background in large and mid-cap transactions, including cross-border deals. The new team is especially well positioned for cross-border M&A and private equity transactions, particularly those between the UK and Ireland. Much of the practice centres on M&A involving private equity-backed companies, along with private equity investments and buyouts.
