Despite recent laments from London corporate pundits over a depressed deals market, the view of many is that the Irish market is bucking global trends.
Stephen Keogh, William Fry’s head of corporate, says: ‘From a transactional point of view, the big feature this year so far has been a smaller amount of multi-billion deals and probably a lower average deal size, but all of our data is pointing to a similar volume of transactions this year compared with last year, which is kind of surprising given there’s so much negative global sentiment out there.’
