Kieran Trant is a Partner in the corporate department of Matheson - one of Ireland’s largest law firms. Kieran works with international companies on the establishment, expansion and operation of their businesses in Ireland and we talk about what the Irish legal system is like and how, as a common law system, it shares a lot of similarities with the Canadian legal system. But we also discuss the key differences and what companies need to know about those.

We also learn about the ease of doing business in Ireland and why the pro-business environment has proven so popular with companies looking to internationalise.
