Mercantile Solicitors

Mercantile Solicitors is a Cavan-based Irish law practice founded by Fergal McManus in 2019. The firm focuses on the legal and tax needs of small, medium-sized and family-owned businesses, particularly where commercial matters involve cross-border elements. Its work covers business law, capital taxes, private international law and notarial services.

The practice is led by Fergal McManus, a solicitor with a Master of Laws in Commercial Law, Chartered Tax Adviser qualification and appointment as a Notary Public. His experience includes commercial transactions, commercial agreements, business disputes, tax planning, succession planning, international trade and the administration of cross-border estates. The firm also assists with Irish proceedings and the recognition or enforcement of foreign judgments.

Mercantile Solicitors positions itself between large city commercial firms and general practice firms by providing commercially focused advice to business owners and their enterprises. Its client service approach emphasises practical risk management, clear advice on legal and tax consequences, advance planning and commercially proportionate solutions, while also providing representation where disputes or litigation cannot be avoided.
