Launching in 2026

matchmaker⁺ will be expanding into Ireland in 2026, bringing our discreet, modern introducer model to a market experiencing increasing interest in consolidation, cross-border collaboration and long-term succession planning.

This expansion will build on our work across England, Wales and Scotland, connecting Irish firms with serious buyers looking for growth — and Irish sellers considering exit or merger options.

Why Ireland?

We are seeing growing appetite from:
- UK firms looking to establish an Irish presence
- Irish firms seeking stability through merger
- Partners planning retirement or phased exit
- Practices exploring cross-border opportunities
- Niche and regional firms wanting to grow sustainably


Our model is a natural fit for this landscape.

Our approach in Ireland

The Ireland expansion will follow the same principles that underpin matchmaker⁺ in the UK:

  • Discreet, confidential introductions
  • No mass marketing of sellers
  • Strategic matching focused on alignment
  • A supportive, controlled process for both buyers and sellers
  • Clear, straightforward engagement terms
  • A national and cross-border buyer network


This ensures Irish firms retain full control while exploring their future options.

Launching 2026

Throughout early 2026 we will:

  • Build and cleanse an initial Irish firm database
  • Map regional opportunities
  • Begin targeted conversations with buyers and sellers
  • Prepare the first wave of confidential introductions


This will position matchmaker⁺ as a trusted introducer for the Irish legal market.
