Led by partners, Derek Lawlor, and Louise Dobbyn, our Dublin Financial Services Regulation team has deep cross-sectoral expertise, obtained through intensive client and regulatory engagement.

Our team provides proactive and pragmatic legal advice on the full range of financial services regulatory matters, including advising on regulatory authorisations, strategic regulatory mandates, conduct of business and other supervisory aspects, together with disputes and disciplinary issues. We pride ourselves on working with our clients to understand their business so that our advice is appropriately targeted and may be operationalised and integrated in a way that allows business to thrive.

Drawing on the insights of our international teams, our Dublin team undertakes technical, complex and innovative regulatory work for a wide range of Irish and international financial services firms including domestic and international banks, MiFID firms, asset managers and funds, FinTechs (including payment and e-money firms and VASPs), retail lenders, credit servicers, insurance undertakings and rating agencies.
