What the Team is Known For
Tughans has an impressive corporate team that has cultivated a healthy reputation for M&A and private equity work. It is trusted to advise a broad spectrum of corporates, private equity investors and wider investment funds on significant deals, especially those involving technology.
Strengths
I couldn't recommend Tughans highly enough; they are the epitome of a truly fantastic firm with incredible talent.
From partner through to associate they are able to show quality. Their service levels and responsiveness are very strong.
What distinguish this department from others in the industry is that they are extremely commercial and you are supported by excellent and market-leading technical ability.
Work Highlights
Tughans advised SolarfixNI on a deal which involved a GBP1.5 million funding package, comprising of equity investment from Whiterock’s Growth Capital Fund and debt finance from the Investment Fund for Northern Ireland.
Notable practitioners
John McGuckian is a highly skilled private equity specialist who is frequently sought out by investors and investees for his expertise in various investments.
John remains a leader in the corporate M&A field within Northern Ireland and is able to deliver a commercial solution to complex areas.
He's always good to work with and pragmatic.
John's commitment is unprecedented and he often checked in with us. There was nothing that was ever too much for John to take on.
