Appleby, the world’s largest offshore legal, fiduciary and administration service provider, has been named Best Law Firm in the Isle of Man and Jersey for investment funds work at this year´s FundDomiciles.com Service Provider Awards, held at the Chesterfield Hotel in Mayfair, London.

The awards recognise leading fund service providers in major jurisdictions around the world and follow nominations from industry peers. The winning firms were selected by a panel of judges who have many years of experience in dealing with organisations in various fund domiciles.

Appleby has a global investment funds practice with extensive experience advising funds of all types, whether in corporate, partnership or trust form, including regulated mutual funds, closed-ended funds and private equity funds. Over the past year, Appleby’s Funds and Investment Services Team has worked on a number of high profile transactions for some of the world’s largest and most active private equity companies, fund managers and investors in the funds market.

Alex Erskine, Global Head of Appleby’s Funds and Investment Services Team added: “We are delighted to receive these awards. They are a testament to the hard work and dedication demonstrated by everyone in our Isle of Man and Jersey teams throughout last year. As well as on-going work for clients on existing funds, these teams also received instructions on new fund formations, which was great news for both practices. We were extremely proud of the nature and quality of work we were involved in last year, and it is great to see our involvement recognised in this award from FundDomiciles.com.”
