Litigation & Insolvency

Appleby provides litigation services in Bermuda, the British Virgin Islands, the Cayman Islands, Guernsey, Isle of Man, Jersey and Mauritius. The Litigation and Insolvency Practice is recognised as a leader in the field. The respective local teams and several of their members are given high recommendations in publications such as Legal 500, PLC Which Lawyer? and Chambers Global.

The practice is truly international, handling disputes involving parties all over the world, as well as matters arising within the increasingly sophisticated and complex legal and business environments of the jurisdictions. With a long history of service, we have been, and continue to be, involved in many of the most complicated and high-profile cases.

We provide efficient service responding to clients' demands, which are frequently urgent and invariably require maximum attention. Mindful that no client wants to spend money on litigation, we assert and defend our clients' positions with both strength and efficiency. But - unlike most other firms - when larger cases demand it we can bring on the full force of our global resources.

Our lawyers are skilled in the resolution of all types of commercial and civil disputes, whether through litigation or, where appropriate, arbitration and alternative dispute resolution. We are able to field experienced advocates who have rights of audience and conduct litigation at all levels of the court system, including the Privy Council, which remains the final court of appeal in our offshore jurisdictions.

The high level, complex nature of our instructions is testament to our top tier status and excellent service. We continue to receive a significant percentage of our instructions from the top 20 UK and leading US law firms, as well as local financial institutions, trust companies, local governments, insurance companies and high-net-worth individuals.

Commercial Dispute Resolution
Employment & Immigration
Fund Disputes
