Faye Moffett has taken up her new role as Managing Partner of the Appleby Isle of Man office, effective 01 September, 2015.

Faye, Group Head of the firm’s Corporate department, succeeds Sean Dowling, who it was announced in July will become a partner in the new business formed by the recent management buyout of Appleby’s fiduciary arm.

She said: “I am honoured and thrilled to be leading the team at Appleby in the Isle of Man, especially at such an exciting time for the firm.

“There will be changes in the coming months which will bring plenty of great opportunities for the firm. I am looking forward to being at the helm to help strengthen and grow our business while ensuring that our existing clients continue to receive the high level of service they expect.”

Faye trained and qualified as an advocate at Dickinson Cruickshank (which merged with Appleby in 2009) in 1997 before leaving the Island in 2000 and spending several years working for leading law firms in Edinburgh. She rejoined Appleby as an associate in 2004 before becoming partner in 2006. Faye specialises in banking and finance transactions, including property finance, aircraft and ship finance, and has particular experience in providing opinions on Isle of Man companies and on cross-border security and insolvency issues. Her clients include Isle of Man companies, international financial institutions and international law firms.

She is highly regarded among colleagues and clients, with respected industry publications Chambers UK and Legal 500 UK having both identified Faye as a ‘leader in her field’. Legal 500 UK 2015 singled out Faye’s ‘commercially astute' advice for praise.
