We are also delighted that Jonathan will be staying with the firm as a consultant following a very successful tenure and we are grateful for all the contributions that he has made.'

'Tax is an increasingly important part of our offering as clients navigate a rapidly evolving regulatory landscape. Under Padhraic's leadership, we will continue to invest in and grow our capabilities, ensuring clients have access to the specialist advice they need across a broad range of transactions and structures.'

Padhraic Mulpeter said:
