Maples and Calder have been significantly increasing their market share in the investment funds arena over the past two years.

Maples are now ranked second amongst all Irish legal advisers, progressing from a previous ranking of seventh in 2008, in terms of funds advised on (both domiciled and non-domiciled). This represents almost a 370% growth in market share over this period.
