Law firm DLA Piper has appointed Matthew Cole as a partner in its corporate practice in Dublin.
Mr Cole will join the firm at the end of this year from A&L Goodbody, where he is a corporate partner.
His practice focuses on mergers and acquisitions (M&A) and equity capital markets (ECM), as well as private equity and corporate advisory.
DLA Piper’s head of corporate in Ireland, Éanna Mellett, described Mr Cole as one of Ireland’s most respected ECM lawyers, who had advised on some of the most high-profile and complex M&A deals of recent years.
The latest appointment brings DLA Piper Ireland’s corporate team to six partners and legal directors.
