A number of years ago, the favourable debt funding environment led to a significant number of management and leveraged buyout transactions in the Irish market. Management teams and private equity vehicles looked to take advantage of attractive valuations and access to debt and equity markets can offer an alternative form of exit for shareholders.

We have also been involved in helping family businesses deal with succession issues by structuring tax efficient mechanisms for exit.

Goodbody has been at the forefront of these transactions advising both bidders and vendors in public and private company transactions. Our experience in the multiple public to private transactions in the Irish market leaves us expertly positioned to advise clients on all aspects of these transactions.
