Leading offshore law firm Appleby has been praised for its approach to cross-jurisdictional matters in the 2023 edition of the Chambers and Partners UK Guide, with 15 of the Group’s Guernsey, Isle of Man and Jersey lawyers gaining individual recognition.

A leading directory for the legal industry, Chambers ranks law firms and their lawyers across 200 jurisdictions worldwide based on independent research and analysis, including client feedback.
