Four of the Group’s lawyers feature in The Legal 500 Hall of Fame, which is reserved for law firm partners who are at the pinnacle of the profession and have received constant praise by their clients for continued excellence. In addition, a further 23 Appleby lawyers have been recognised as either ‘leading individuals’, ‘next generation partners’ or ‘rising stars’.

Further client feedback cited within the directory includes the Isle of Man corporate practice being described as “incredibly responsive and knowledgeable”, while Appleby Jersey is “known as one of the leading disputes practices in Jersey, especially in the field of trusts litigation”.
