Partner and Head of Asset Management and Investment Funds Nicholas Blake-Knox, Partner and Head of Tax, Jonathan Sheehan, Asset Management and Investment Funds Partner Jennifer Fox and Asset Management and Investment Funds Professional Support Lawyer, Jill Shaw, authored the "Ireland Law and Practice" chapter in the Chambers 2021 Global Practice Guide on Investment Funds.

The Investment Funds Guide 2021 provides a global comparison of fundamental legal, tax and regulatory considerations relating to the establishment and operation of investment funds in a range of jurisdictions where the industry is active. The guide provides information on the structures typically used, the regulatory framework for those funds, any significant operational requirements, how the funds may be marketed, a summary of the tax treatment for both the fund itself and investors, and customary or common terms. It seeks to provide guidance on the key questions arising when industry participants are seeking to establish, operate, market and/or invest in an investment fund. The guide features expert insights across 18 jurisdictions and Walkers is pleased to have contributed to the Ireland chapter.
