Loan origination and alternative structures are a core offering of A&L Goodbody’s Debt Capital Markets group. We regularly advise non-bank lenders on the establishment of loan origination structures that provide lenders, borrowers and investors with access to non-traditional debt.

Working closely with our Tax and Financial Regulation teams, we regularly advise clients on the use of ‘Section 110’ vehicles, providing clients with bespoke and tax efficient solutions that realise the full benefits of Ireland's extensive double taxation arrangements. We help clients navigate through all issues that they may encounter to achieve a successful product launch, including Securitisation Regulation and EU Anti Money Laundering Directive compliance, asset ring-fencing, market abuse legislation and the Alternative Investment Fund Managers Directive (AIFMD).
