Appleby, one of the world’s largest providers of offshore legal, fiduciary and administration services, has snapped up the largest number of listings in the latest Who’s Who Legal Asset Recovery with top lawyers based in the Isle of Man, the Cayman Islands, Bermuda, the BVI and the Channel Islands.

Included among eight Appleby practitioners from five jurisdictions is Mark Holligon, a partner in the Dispute Resolution department in the Isle of Man office. He is described as an “extremely accomplished” practitioner, with expertise covering freezing orders, ancillary relief and general civil fraud matters.

Mark’s work spans the contentious and non-contentious arenas, both onshore and offshore, with a focus on commercial litigation, insolvency and restructuring. He has a particular interest in distressed funds and their restructuring.

He began his career in England, qualifying in the City of London in 1995 and gaining experience with two further leading UK firms before moving to a leading law firm in the Cayman Islands in 2003 and to the Isle of Man in 2008.

Who's Who Legal identifies the foremost legal practitioners in business law based upon comprehensive, independent research. This fourth edition of Who's Who Legal: Asset Recovery selects 341 practitioners from 202 firms across 74 jurisdictions as leaders in this field of law.

Alongside Mark, the 2015 edition also featured Appleby lawyers from four other jurisdictions: Bermuda - John Wasty (Partner) and John Riihiluoma (Partner); BVI - Andrew Willins (Partner); Cayman Islands - Jeremy Walton (Partner), Andrew Bolton (Partner) and Christopher Russell; Jersey - Fraser Robertson (Partner).
