International law firm Addleshaw Goddard has announced the appointment of Cormac Doyle to head up its new Tax practice in Ireland.

Cormac joins from accountancy firm Crowe Ireland and has more than 20 years' experience across aspects of tax, domestically and internationally. He was previously head of the tax department at EisnerAmper Ireland, after training at Deloitte.

This is the third service area Addleshaw Goddard has launched in Ireland in the past six months alone - Partner Gavin Blake was recruited to head the new Energy practice and Jeanne-Marie Moriarty brought in to launch the Financial Services and Regulation practice. 

This latest appointment will provide Addleshaw Goddard's clients with an integrated tax practice which brings the firm's international reach and experience to bear, providing a transaction-focussed co-ordination of multi-jurisdictional tax and structuring services delivering a real competitive advantage.

A fellow of Chartered Accountants Ireland, Cormac specialises in areas including: tax on corporate transactions; general corporate tax; tax planning for international corporates; employment taxes; VAT issues; and property tax matters for international and Irish investors structuring property investments.

Mark Walsh, Head of Ireland at Addleshaw Goddard said:

"Cormac has fantastic pedigree and the new tax practice will complement our existing services, allowing us to provide a fuller offering to clients whatever their requirements." 

"Addleshaw Goddard is recognised as one of the fastest growing international law firms and the evolution of the Dublin office delivers on the ambitious targets we set out when Addleshaw Goddard launched here 18 months ago – and the exciting thing for all of our clients and people is that there is much more to come."
