What We Do

"MOP has real clout in the Irish legal market, and if you have a tough case they have the resources to assist you".
Chambers Global 2010

Our Public Law, Regulatory and Investigations Group advises on all aspects of complex commercial litigation and disputes, including international disputes. We focus on advising organisations in relation to corporate offences, fraud and white collar crime.

We have been involved in the most significant regulatory investigations in Ireland in which we have advised on civil, criminal and regulatory implications of possible breaches of company, tax and banking laws.  We advise on all aspects of corporate defense strategies including proactive and pre-emptive measures such as self-disclosure and remedial measures. 

We advised National Irish Bank on all aspects of the largest corporate investigation in Irish legal history. This included the investigation by the High Court, the Director of Corporate Enforcement, the Comptroller and Auditor General, the Revenue Commissioners, the Financial Regulator and a Government Inquiry by the Public Accounts Committee into issues involving tax, mis-selling and overcharging and responses by the bank to customer litigation.

Sources remark that “it is prompt in its responses and the partners are readily available to help".”
