Debt Listing

Dillon Eustace offers market-leading expertise and a unique track record in listing services. We were the first Irish law firm to become authorised as an Irish Stock Exchange (ISE) listing agent in 2001.

Our experienced Listing team advises issuers on the listing rules and procedures for the Main Securities Market (MSM) and Global Exchange Market (GEM) of the ISE/Euronext Dublin. We are also authorised as a listing agent on the Cayman Islands Stock Exchange (CSX).

Our services include advising and providing policy guidance to clients on the regulatory and legal requirements relating to listed issuers, covering key areas such as market abuse, transparency, audit and prospectus directives.

Our experience covers the full range of corporate structures and transactions – from high yield bond issuances to corporate debt issuances, securitisations and retail secured note programmes.

The Listing team works closely with our Banking and Finance team to provide a streamlined and proactive legal and listing service.
