ICLG Derivatives Laws and Regulations 2026 – McCann FitzGerald contributes Ireland chapter

Partners Fergus Gillen and Éamon Ó Cuív, together with senior associate Rachel Cosgrove, are delighted to have contributed the Ireland chapter to ICLG Derivatives Laws and Regulations 2026.

The chapter is a practical guide to the legal and regulatory framework governing derivatives transactions in Ireland, and examines key issues affecting market participants, including ISDA documentation, collateral and margin requirements, close-out netting, insolvency considerations, taxation and the impact of ongoing regulatory developments such as the implementation of EMIR 3.0. It also highlights market trends and emerging developments that are shaping the derivatives landscape in Ireland and across the EU.

As derivatives markets continue to evolve in response to regulatory change and technological innovation, the chapter offers valuable insights for financial institutions, corporates, investment firms and other market participants operating in Ireland.
