In the current challenging economic landscape, Ireland is primarily placed as an attractive destination for inward investment by U.S. companies. Not only is Ireland in a position to promote high quality offerings in the traditional areas of legal, financial and tax professional services, but also in the areas of recruitment, property, telecommunications and outsourcing services to name but a few.

Equally, numerous Irish companies continue to expand into new markets and specifically, the U.S. market. As a result, demand by Irish Companies for professional services in the areas of law, tax, accounting and ancillary services when investing in the U.S. continues to increase.

Symposium provides an opportunity to acquire up to 12 CLE credits (in Pennsylvania; Other state approvals to follow). 9.5 general CPD hours will be awarded at the Symposium and certification will be issued for the full day and a half of seminars.
