Ireland for Law: Using Irish Law and Courts for Corporate Restructuring, Intellectual Property, Data Protection, and Derivatives
After Brexit, Ireland is the only English-speaking common law jurisdiction in the European Union. Former Taoiseach (Prime Minister), John Bruton, and current Chief Justice of Ireland, Frank Clarke, with leading Irish lawyers will describe how American business should use Irish law, and Irish courts, for Corporate Restructuring, Intellectual Property/Data Protection and Derivatives.
Ireland for Law is a government-led initiative that promotes the use of the law of Ireland and Ireland’s courts and arbitration facilities to the international business community, particularly in areas where Ireland is already a world leader, such as aviation finance, funds, insurance, tech, pharma and life sciences. Ireland for Law is the banner brand for Ireland's International Legal Services Strategy. The brand has been created to represent and position Ireland’s international legal services industry.
