Merger creates world’s largest offshore law firm and first global law firm in Isle of Man
Leading offshore legal, fiduciary and administration service provider Appleby and the largest law firm in the Isle of Man Dickinson Cruickshank have formally completed their merger, which was announced in June 2009. The firm will now be known as Appleby in the Isle of Man.
Appleby is the first global offshore law firm to open in the Isle of Man and is now the largest offshore law firm by number of partners.
The firm now has 74 partners and 200 lawyers, and a total of over 800 staff in 11 offices worldwide including Bermuda, the British Virgin Islands, the Cayman Islands, the Isle of Man, Jersey, Mauritius, Republic of Seychelles, Bahrain, Hong Kong, London, and Zurich.
Peter Bubenzer, Appleby’s Group Managing Partner commented: “The merger will position us as the leading provider of legal, fiduciary and administration services across the offshore world. Our global reach in the key offshore jurisdictions and main international financial centres is unparalleled and will have a significant impact on the breadth, range and choice of services we are able to offer to our international clients. Our entry into the Isle of Man market further builds our strength and depth across multiple jurisdictions providing greater resources and greater choice to all of our clients and their advisers.”
Michael O’Connell, Managing Partner of the Jersey office added: “Our driving strategy is to be the leading provider of legal, fiduciary and administration services in the offshore world. Following our recent office openings in Bahrain and the Republic of Seychelles, the merger with Dickinson Cruickshank reinforces our position as the first choice for clients.”
