Two lawyers at the Isle of Man office of international law firm Appleby have been recognised in the first edition of Who’s Who Legal: Transport, an independent assessment of the world’s top lawyers in the transport field.

Partners Faye Moffett, Corporate & Commercial Group Head, and Simon Cain, Isle of Man Corporate Finance Team Leader, have been recognised as leaders in aviation finance law. Timothy Counsell, Head of Transport & Logistics sector at Appleby Bermuda, has also been recognised for his work in shipping law.

Faye said:

‘Simon and I are delighted to have been named as leaders in the transport field by such a well-respected publication.'

‘These recognitions reflect our commitment to our clients and it is an honour for us, and for the entire Appleby Isle of Man team, to have our work in this sector recognised.’

Simon added:

‘These results are testament to the reputation of our office in the Isle of Man and the calibre of our team. We are hugely grateful to our peers and clients for their recommendations and recognition of our services.’

Who's Who Legal: Transport identified leading lawyers from 533 firms across 76 countries following votes from clients and fellow private practitioners. The report addresses aviation law and its three distinct branches: contentious, finance and regulatory. The research also looks at key international trends in shipping law and their effect on the legal marketplace.

Appleby's dedicated aviation and shipping groups bring together the wealth of experience and diverse skills within the firm’s legal and fiduciary teams around the globe. Together they provide a seamless service to clients with offshore requirements.
