Azets strengthens legal sector expertise in Ireland

Azets has strengthened its specialist expertise within the legal sector following the acquisition of Dublin-based consultancy business Outsource.

Founded in 2000, Outsource provides financial and management consultancy services to legal firms across Ireland. Led by David Rowe and Donal Maher, the business has built a strong reputation through its specialist sector knowledge, trusted client relationships and practical approach to supporting law firms.

The acquisition further strengthens Azets' professional services proposition in Ireland and enhances its ability to support legal sector clients through a broader range of services and specialist expertise.

David Rowe and Donal Maher, together with the wider Outsource team, will join Azets following completion of the transaction.

David Rowe, Managing Director at Outsource, said:

"Throughout this process, it was important for us to find a partner that shared our values, our client-first approach and our ambition for the future.

Joining Azets allows us to continue delivering the specialist support our clients value today, while giving them access to a broader range of expertise and services. We are excited about the opportunities this creates for our clients, our people and the future development of the business."

Chris Horne, Group CEO at Azets, said:

"Outsource is a highly respected specialist business with deep expertise, strong client relationships and an excellent reputation within the legal sector.

This acquisition strengthens our capabilities in an important market and reflects our continued focus on bringing together high-quality businesses that complement and enhance our existing expertise.

We are delighted to welcome David, Donal and the wider team to Azets."

The acquisition brings together two relationship-led businesses with a shared focus on delivering practical advice, long-term client value and sustainable growth.
