One of the niche areas within the Ogier Leman Commercial Department is corporate structuring. We are experts at assisting groups of companies at domestic and international level with the Irish legal aspects of a transaction including a reorganisation, re-financing or a completely new legal structure.

Our Experience
At Ogier Leman we get involved from the feasibility stage through to step plans, documentation drafting, legal opinions and ultimate implementation. We know every aspect of the deal and understand the true value of it to the client. We work seamlessly with the clients’ tax advisors and our ‘can do’ attitude means we will make it our business to find a workaround to a potential problem or issue. We are there to support (both client and advisors alike) and we pride ourselves in doing exactly that.
