Professional services firm Ogier has welcomed experienced tax adviser John Perry to its Dublin team, enhancing its ability to provide integrated tax expertise as part of its rapidly growing suite of financial services.
With more than 20 years’ experience, Perry specialises in advising on the accounting, tax and regulatory aspects of financial services. He has acted for a wide range of industry participants, including asset managers, financial institutions, trustees, private equity providers, aviation lessors and fund administrators.
John Hogan, Ogier’s practice partner in Ireland, said: “John’s experience and knowledge of Ireland’s tax framework, combined with his involvement in industry bodies, will be of enormous benefits to our clients across our core services. His addition comes at an exciting time for Ogier in Ireland, continuing the recent expansion of our structured finance and investment funds services.
“Ireland has become one of the largest exporters of financial services in the EU. It’s the global hub for commercial aviation leasing and financing and is on target to becoming the largest fund domicile in Europe by 2030 – if not sooner. At Ogier, we’re seeing huge client demand for our expertise in these key growth areas.
“John’s appointment enhances our ability to provide clients with the right ecosystem of essential services and strengthens Ogier’s presence in the Irish market.”
Ogier’s full service offering in Ireland
Ogier in Ireland provides combined legal, corporate and fiduciary services. This includes one of the largest, single-source service packages spanning the full fund life cycle, plus end-to-end services for structured finance, including aviation finance, securitisation and debt listings.
In his new role, Perry will be working alongside dedicated funds lawyers, including partners Oisin McClenaghan and Jennifer Dobbyn, as well as senior industry professionals in Ogier Global’s new fund administration team in Ireland – including Jeff Pamplin, head of fund administration, and Nichola Costello, head of transfer agency.
Integrated tax advice is also a crucial part of Ogier’s structured finance services in Ireland, which recently welcomed Eoin Hamill to the legal partnership. Eoin joins Banking and Finance partners Richard Kelly and Laura Holtham in supporting clients on a range of fund finance, debt capital markets and structured finance matters.
Working alongside Ogier Global’s head of debt capital markets, Michael Carroll, the team provides legal and administrative support to clients with the formation and administration of asset finance, debt issuance and securitisation vehicles. In addition, Ogier can act as listing agent for a wide variety of debt securities on Euronext Dublin, the Vienna Stock Exchange, the Luxembourg Stock Exchange, the International Stock Exchange and other listing venues.
