Irish Law Firm Appointed By Nicole Shanahan To Assist With An Investment Visa Programme In Ireland
California-based businesswoman Nicole Shanahan has handed a €500,000 cash boost to a Donegal GAA club.
Ms. Shanahan, CEO, and founder of ClearAccessIP chose the immigration law team at Gibson & Associates to provide vital assistance in applying for an investor visa, allowing her to establish a connection and residency in Ireland. An investor visa is a legal requirement for any non-EEA nationals and their families, should they wish to set up a business or reside in Ireland.
ClearAccessIP is the first company to provide an automated patent management and valuation platform to strategically manage intellectual property portfolios, allowing organizations to focus on their business goals. Ms. Shanahan has a keen interest in working on creative solutions to legal and social problems, in particular, high-tech-related legal issues that leverage her background in intellectual property transactions and prosecution.
The Immigrant Investor Programme (IIP) is open to non-EEA nationals who commit to an approved investment in Ireland. The IIP requires a minimum investment from the applicant’s own resources and must not be financed through a loan or other such facility.
Doireann Gibson, the managing partner at Gibson & Associates, said: “The investor program facilitates inward investment in a range of commercial and social enterprises, which creates advantages for both investor and recipient.”
Speaking of the investment into Ireland, Ms. Shanahan said she aligns with “culture and leadership that is refreshingly progressive in a way that is compatible with my own values. I am someone that believes in science and service to the community through work and charity. I’m very much attracted to the rising thought leadership in Ireland, especially as it relates to social policy, education, and the environment”.
Doireann, who is also an underage coach with CLG An Tearmainn, the GAA football club to receive investment from Ms Shanahan, said: “It has been a real pleasure to create the link between Nicole and CLG An Tearmainn. There is a great team of volunteers at the club, who have worked tirelessly to develop the club and uphold the core values of the GAA, which is completely aligned with Nicole’s own values. This extraordinary generosity will have a profound impact on the club and the community that it serves, and really couldn’t come at a better time.”
