Isle of Man
The Isle of Man has developed a reputation as a premier financial jurisdiction in terms of regulation whilst retaining the delicate balance between providing a business friendly environment and meeting international standards of financial supervision. The jurisdiction has been on the OECD “white list” since the release of the assessments. With over 1000 years of unbroken parliamentary rule as an internally self governing crown dependency, the political stability of the Island provides a further assurance to clients, reinforcing its reputation.
Central to the Island’s continued success is the close working relationship between the private sector and the government. The government’s pro-business attitude and commitment to creating an environment that supports business has been fundamental to the growth of the Island’s economy. Additionally, with cutting edge technology and communication infrastructures, sophisticated professional and financial services, and an attractive package of incentives for inward investors, we offer one of the most attractive business environments in the world.
Sean Dowling is the Managing Partner of the Isle of Man office which has approximately 105 staff including over 70 fee earners. Our Isle of Man office is one of longest established legal practices and with a recognised reputation for high quality, leads all the legal directory rankings such as Chambers, Legal 500 and IFLR 1000. Working closely with government on the development of important legislation enables our lawyers to remain at the forefront of legal developments, providing expertise in the formulation of key policy and contributing to future strategy. We provide specialist legal advice to a broad range of clients ranging from some of the best known companies, financial institutions and public bodies in the Isle of Man as well as international law firms and conglomerates.
Appleby is also proud to be among the first organisations in the Isle of Man to be part of the Freedom to Flourish Brand Champions, a public/private partnership devoted to promoting the island as a great place to live, work and do business and where everyone can have the opportunity to fulfil their potential. Working with the Freedom to Flourish team and the Isle of Man Government, we help spread this strategic message and contribute to our Island’s prosperity.
