The firm was also named “Ireland Corporate Firm of the Year” and won “M&A Deal of the Year” for its work on AbbVie’s cash and stock acquisition of Allergan.

The IFLR Europe Awards celebrate legal innovation in cross-border transactions across Europe and to be considered, all deals must have met specific criteria that make them both cross-border and European.

Commenting on the awards, Managing Partner Geoff Moore said “We are delighted to have been recognised again by IFLR. It is a testament to the expertise of our lawyers and demonstrates the firm’s leading position in the Irish market”.

Cian McCourt, Head of Corporate and M&A at Arthur Cox, commented:  “We are very pleased to be named “Ireland Corporate Team of the Year” and to have also advised on the “M&A Deal of the Year”.  The awards recognise the strength and ability of our Corporate and M&A team.  Over the past year, we have supported our clients on some of the most significant Irish and international deals”.
