Liz Grace is a partner in Matheson’s Asset Management Group. She specialises in EU and Irish investment funds law. In 2007, she set up Matheson’s first dedicated knowledge development unit at practice level within the firm, which today has grown to service the 60 plus members of the Asset Management Group and its clients. In collaboration with Maynooth University, Liz has recently established Ireland’s first and only university-taught investment funds law course in order to make this area of law accessible to Irish third level students for the first time.

An understanding of the financial services sector both domestically and internationally is an advantage for anyone looking to enter the financial services market, while continuous development has also helped Rachel Howard to become relationship manager with Barclays Bank Ireland plc.
