Why Ireland

A strategic venue in cross-border restructurings

Ireland is increasingly relevant in cross-border restructuring and enforcement strategies. As an EU member state with a sophisticated common law system, established jurisprudence and a pragmatic commercial court environment, Irish proceedings are often used alongside UK and US processes in complex multi-jurisdictional matters.

Ireland offers a court-driven restructuring toolkit (including schemes of arrangement, examinership and SCARP) that can be deployed for groups with Irish connections or assets, and can also function as a platform for coordinated recognition and enforcement strategies. For creditors and investors, early assessment of Irish options can materially influence outcome and leverage.
