Testimonials
Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.
‘For me, it was positive that it was a large-scale and diverse law firm bringing together colleagues with experience in different fields.’
‘What made them outstanding was that every team member knew the given case equally and in depth. They were responsive and responded quickly to any issues that arose.’
‘Very hands on, pro-business approach - well connected, hungry team.’
‘Oisín McLoughlin - very hands-on and technical approach - good financial, as well as legal brain. Approachable, personable approach in a transaction and can-do solutions driven attitude.’
‘We instructed Ogier on our first investment into an Irish company in 2024 working with Oisín McLoughlin and Sharon Meaney. It was a relatively modest investment into a company controlled by founders who didn't want to cede power/control over the investee company which made negotiations trickier than they might have otherwise been. Ogier were superb in assisting us through the process to ultimately get a deal away on pragmatic/protective terms whilst not undermining the wider investor/founder relationship.’
‘Oisín McLoughlin was pragmatic and commercial in his response and a pleasure to deal with.’
‘Excellent level of access to each member of the team including partner. The client found this very reassuring. Very good level of value add experience in addition to the transaction documents coupled with commercial mindset.’
‘It was very apparent from working with the team that they cared about the client and the transaction. The client found this very comforting given it was his first time through a corporate finance transaction.’
