Mitchell McDermott has secured investment from MML Ireland

October 2025 — Irish construction consultancy Mitchell McDermott has entered into a new partnership with private equity firm MML Ireland in a move designed to accelerate its growth and strengthen its European footprint.

Mitchell McDermott is an Irish headquartered construction consultancy operating primarily in the data center and high-density residential sector. With a team of over 80 employees, the company provides full-service, data-led construction consultancy internationally through their offices in Ireland, Netherlands, Spain and Malaysia.

MML Ireland is a private equity firm supporting Irish SME founders and managers to evolve their businesses organically or through acquisition both domestically and internationally.

Our role in the transaction

Oaklins’ team in Ireland acted as the exclusive M&A advisor to the shareholders of Mitchell McDermott to find the company’s first institutional investor to support a significant growth opportunity across Europe and enable equity participation for the next tier of senior management. The team provided end-to-end support throughout the transaction, identifying and engaging multiple private equity firms and managing a competitive process to select the optimal partner. This transaction aligns with several others that the team has advised on or is currently mandated for within the mission-critical infrastructure sector, particularly involving Irish companies supporting the rollout and construction of data centers across Europe.

Parties
“For something we will only do once or twice in our lifetimes, having the right advisor was really important to us. The primary reasons we chose Oaklins’ team in Ireland were their expertise in the critical infrastructure sector and their partner-led approach. They guided us through every step of the process and delivered the right outcome for us. We really enjoyed working with the entire team. Their ability to foresee and negate potential obstacles throughout the process was second to none. We could not recommend them highly enough.”
