The guide has named 20 individuals from the firm’s Guernsey, Jersey and Isle of Man offices, making it the only offshore law firm highly recognised in all three Crown Dependencies.

Lawyers operating in Corporate and Finance, Dispute Resolution and Employment teams were ranked, including some in the highest bracket; Band 1.

Industry experts noted in the leading directory that the Guernsey Dispute Resolution practice “always provides a very high level of service in all circumstances” and is “adept at keeping on top of the case, managing procedural matters, and acting as a very effective link between the clients and counsel”.

The Guernsey Employment team was then described as “professional and high-quality” and has the capability to pull out the stops when a matter is particularly pressing in relation to time turnaround”.

Among those individually recognised, three Appleby Managing Partners were also ranked in Band 1 for their respective practice areas.
