Equity Capital Markets
ALG's Equity Capital Markets (ECM) team advises Irish and international issuers, shareholders, financial advisers and institutions on IPOs, listings, equity offerings and other equity capital markets transactions in Ireland and internationally.
ECM continue to evolve across Ireland, the UK, the US, Europe and further afield. While market conditions remain complex and windows for execution can be narrow, well-prepared issuers and shareholders continue to access capital, liquidity and strategic opportunities through:
- IPOs
- follow-on offerings
- tender offers
- share buybacks
- public M&A
- other ECM transactions
ALG’s ECM team advises Irish and international clients on the full range of ECM mandates, from initial structuring and transaction planning through to execution, admission to trading and ongoing listed company obligations. We combine market-leading expertise with extensive experience advising on cross-border transactions involving Euronext Dublin, the London Stock Exchange, NYSE, NASDAQ and other international exchanges.
One of Ireland’s most active advisers on Irish ECM transactions. ALG regularly acts on significant international transactions involving Irish issuers, Irish holding companies and Irish law considerations. As more Irish companies access equity capital through the US and other international markets, this breadth of experience is increasingly valuable to clients.
Trusted by issuers, shareholders, financial advisers and global institutions, our team advises on ECM transactions where Irish law plays a central role. Clients are supported throughout the transaction lifecycle, from structuring and execution through to post-transaction governance, regulatory compliance and ongoing listed company obligations.
