Appleby partner recognised in Spear’s Corporate Lawyers Index for second consecutive year
Appleby partner Garry Manley has been recognised as a Recommended Adviser in the Spear’s Corporate Lawyers Index 2026, marking his second consecutive year of inclusion.
The Spear’s Corporate Lawyers Index is an annual guide that recognises lawyers and specialists advising high-net-worth and ultra-high-net-worth individuals, families and family offices. Published as part of the Spear’s 500, the index is widely regarded as a trusted resource for identifying advisers with the expertise and experience to navigate complex and often highly sensitive legal, commercial and private client matters. Inclusion in the index is entirely merit-based and independently determined by the Spear’s Research Unit.
Garry is Appleby’s Corporate Local Practice Group Head in the Isle of Man. One of the leading corporate and regulatory lawyers in the Isle of Man, he has extensive experience of advising high net worth individuals and corporate clients on a wide range of matters, including mergers & acquisitions, venture capital/private equity investments, debt financing transactions, investment fund formation & operation, corporate restructurings and debt/equity capital markets.
In addition to his general corporate practice, Garry is one of the Isle of Man’s pre-eminent regulatory lawyers, with a particular focus on insurance companies, banks & corporate service providers and on the formation and operation of investment funds.
Garry remains the only Isle of Man lawyer recognised in the Spear’s Corporate Lawyers Index 2026, reinforcing his position as one of the jurisdiction’s leading corporate lawyers.
