Appleby has been named ‘Isle of Man Law Firm of the Year’ at the prestigious Citywealth International Financial Centre Awards 2016.

During the presentation at the Grange City Hotel in London on Wednesday evening, Appleby, one of the world’s largest providers of offshore legal services, was also awarded the ‘Jersey Law Firm of the Year’ title and named runner-up in the Caribbean category.

Now in their fifth year, the Citywealth IFC Awards were established to highlight the excellence of advisors and managers in the private wealth sector across the major international financial centres. The winners were selected based on their excellence in innovation, expertise and service by a panel of respected judges with experience of working with advisors across international jurisdictions.

Faye Moffett, Managing Partner at Appleby’s Isle of Man office, said: “Being named Isle of Man Law Firm of the Year is a tremendous accolade which recognises the strength of our dedicated team and the high level of service we provide our clients.

“This is an exciting time for Appleby, as we continue to grow and develop our services and team. We have recently recruited into our Dispute Resolution team and bolstered our trust capability with the appointment of private client expert David Pytches. Being recognised as the Isle of Man’s leading law firm is the perfect way to begin the New Year, a fantastic start to 2016.”
