Leading Irish law firm Mason Hayes & Curran has announced the expansion of its DCM, Structured Finance & Derivatives team, with the promotion of Andrew Gill to partner.

Gill advises on debt, structured finance and derivatives transactions.

He combines technical precision with commercial judgement and, having worked both in private practice and in-house, he understands how deals are done and what clients need to get them over the line.

Recently, he acted for a US-based client in establishing a European exchange-traded programme offering exposure to crypto assets, reflecting the team’s work at the leading edge of the market.

Gill is a graduate of University College Dublin and is qualified in both Ireland and England & Wales.

Commenting on his appointment, Gill said: “We’re one of the most experienced debt capital markets and structured finance teams in Ireland, but what sets us apart is our ability to combine legal precision with commercial insight.

“My focus is on helping clients move quickly, with advice that’s clear, practical, and reflects where the market is right now.”

Daragh O’Shea, Head of Debt Capital Markets, added: “Andrew’s appointment is super news for our team. It reflects Andrew’s calibre as a lawyer and the expanding demand for sophisticated financing advice.

“His expertise and commercial acumen are a real asset to our clients and to the wider team.”
