Matheson LLP’s continued growth and expertise has been reflected in its top rankings in the recently published IFLR1000 Legal Guide’s 34th edition, covering the research period 2023-2024. Eleven of the firm’s practice areas have retained Top Tier rankings, with Asset Finance this year moving up to Tier One, while five Matheson partners have been ranked as Women Leaders.
The annual Guide to the world's leading financial and corporate law firms and lawyers, which includes feedback from clients, said that Matheson “has a strong practice in asset finance, banking and finance, both debt and structured finance capital markets, Investment funds, M&A, project development and restructuring and insolvency, achieving tier 1 status in all these areas, including a raise for asset finance where the firm’s ability is exemplified by the depth of referee comments for this area.”
The practice areas in which Matheson have been top ranked are; Asset Finance; Banking; Capital Markets: Debt; Capital Markets: Equity; Financial Services Regulatory; Investment Funds; M&A; Project Development; Project Finance; Restructuring and Insolvency; and Structured Finance and Securitisations.
In addition, five Matheson partners – Tara Doyle (Asset Management); Rhona Henry (Commercial Real Estate); Yvonne McWeeney (Finance and Capital Markets); Julie Murphy-O’Connor (Commercial Litigation and Dispute Resolution); and Michelle Ridge (Asset Management) – have been ranked as Women Leaders. Ten Matheson partners have also been ranked as Rising Stars.
