Mr Kelly will advise clients on all aspects of Irish tax, with a primary focus on the financial services sector. He specialises in advising asset managers, investment funds, financial institutions and aircraft leasing companies on the tax aspects of their business operations in Ireland. This includes establishing and operating Irish investment platforms and the tax treatment of financing transactions.

Susan Lynch has been promoted to Of Counsel in the firm’s Tax team, bringing more than 30 years’ experience across Big 4 tax advisory and an in-house role giving her a unique perspective on diverse client requirements.
 
She works with Irish and international businesses on a wide range of tax issues, from complex cross-border tax structuring to employee share incentive schemes. She also helps clients with tax risk management and disputes involving tax authorities.
 
Ms Nestor joins the firm’s financial services team as of counsel. She advises banks and corporates on debt issuance and listed securities, including bond programmes, public and private securities offerings and disclosure requirements. 
Prior to her appointment, she worked for an international law firm across Luxembourg, London and Dublin.
 
Managing partner Will Carmody said: “Clients want advisers with deep industry sector insight; people who understand the commercial pressures which their clients face, not just the legal framework. Increasingly, that means understanding how tax and regulation shape financing decisions from the outset. Finn, Susan and Tara each advise in areas where those issues overlap, and their appointments reflect the growing needs of our clients.”
