Callaghan Kennedy

Callaghan is a partner of Maples and Calder's Finance team in the Maples Group's Dublin office.

Callaghan advises arrangers, managers, investors and issuers on a wide range of finance, debt capital markets and structured finance transactions. He focuses particularly on structured products, such as CLOs and other asset backed securitisations, commodities, utilities, marketplace lending and other alternative asset class financings, as well as on repackagings and other programme issuers. Callaghan also advises on fund-linked structures, such as managed account platforms, loan funds and debt funds. He regularly advises on wider financial services and regulatory law, both in relation to regimes that impact structured finance transactions‒such as STS, securities offerings, market abuse, EMIR and risk retention‒ and on issues generally affecting financial services firms, such as like licensing and establishment, change of control and ongoing regulatory compliance.

Callaghan joined the Maples Group as a trainee in 2009, and upon qualification in 2012, joined the Finance team. He was elected as a partner in 2018.

Callaghan is a qualified Irish tax advisor.
