Finance Dublin Yearbook 2024
Ireland as a jurisdiction for finance, its companies and people
The Finance Dublin Yearbook serves two purposes essentially, it helps define the financial services industry particularly its international financial services businesses, and it provides a mid term review and outlook, covering the years 2023 and 2024 of the key environmental issues and developments affecting financial services. This is the 31st edition of the Yearbook, first published in 1991 four years after the designation of a Government-sponsored initiative, the ‘IFSC’ in 1987. Since 1987, Finance (Dublin), has chronicled the evolution of financial services in Ireland in its wider international context on a monthly basis. At the heart of the Yearbook are the profiles of the companies, organisations, and people that make up the centre, the jurisdiction of Ireland.
The Yearbook is its “Review & Outlook” sections provide an annual perspective on the evolution of Ireland’s international financial services industry covered on a monthly basis during the course of the year in the columns of Finance Dublin. These add to the archive of Yearbooks, Finance Dublin and Finance Magazine, that now exist in a searchable archive available online to subscribers going back to the launch of the publication in June 1987.
At the heart of the Yearbook are the annually updated directory sections, including the profiles of Ireland’s International Financial Services companies, (the IFS Companies ‘A-Z‘ Guide), which record in print and e-paper, and online (www.FinanceDublin.com./yearbook) significant changes in the history of the 500 plus companies and bodies, including commercial trading companies, Government and Judicial and industry representative bodies.
The Professional Services Guide (PSG) lists the principal corporate organisations, (many now incorporated as LLPs) and its “Who’s Who” records of leading financial services advisers in the legal, accountancy, and consulting professional disciplines.
The “Who’s Who” is a searchable online directory of Top Professional Services practitioners in the Financial Services sector and their Finance specialist areas.
It can be accessed at the following url: https://www.financedublin.com/yearbook/advisers/
where the “Adviser Searches” are the main Access Point for the “Who’s Who”.
The PSG is a database of the leading Professional Services firms. These are listed in the Yearbook.
The PSG and “Who’s Who” is an online searchable database which is a guide to the professional expertise in the jurisdiction under multiple specialisms and highlighted in the columns of Finance Dublin and in the annual Finance Dublin Deals of the Year Awards.
It features c.1,000 of the leading finance and financial professionals in the jurisdiction. The “Who’s Who” is a list of individual professionals attached to the leading (100+) PSG firms. Approximately 375 of these appear in the print and E-paper version of the Yearbook, their appearance there being supported through advertising packages subscribed to by firms listed in the PSG.
A perusal of the “Who’s Who” Sections of the PSG provides an impression of how important individual learned expertise of professional advisers is to the product that makes up Irish international financial services.
The corporate side of the PSG is fast evolving, particularly marked not just by personnel changes in the professional services sectors, but also corporate developments. The establishment of new legal enterprises in Ireland, supplemented in the past two years by the entry of accounting firms are examples.
Also new bodies in the NGO area are listed, while significant industry representative bodies, such as the Mifid Association are listed for the first time.
The evolution of legal finance in Ireland has been marked in the past year, reflecting not just the continued success of the commercial law sector in dealmaking but continued recognition at Government and state level of the importance of the “Ireland for Law” agenda, marked by a noteworthy address on the jurisdiction’s traditions of law by the Attorney General Rossa Fanning in the US in Autumn 2023.
Institutional changes in the legal area are reflected in the Yearbook in new entries this year for specialist associations of the Law Library, the Tax, Property and Commercial Bar Associations.
This agenda increasingly is stimulating the appearance of landmark cases in finance, such as are recorded in the Finance Dublin annual Deals of the Year Awards, cross referenced through various parts of the publication as evidence of the evolving capabilities of the jurisdiction.
The other directory sections, the State Regulatory & Industry Bodies, have also reflected the development of the increased role of security issues for the sector, for example the state cyber security support services, increasingly important in a fintech age, and, in the security area, the anti crime support agencies. Also listed in the State, Regulatory & Industry Bodies’ section are the industry representative bodies.
The 2024 Yearbook is published in ‘Epaper’ form alongside the Yearbook website at www.financedublin.com/yearbook/ - a continuously updated ‘shop window’ of the companies, advisory firms and support system that makes Ireland the financial services centre that it is.
