Leading offshore legal, fiduciary and administration service provider Appleby has announced the planned opening of its latest office in Guernsey.

The new office will be operational in the Spring of 2010 and will practice Guernsey law with a focus on corporate, commercial, private client, litigation, insolvency and restructuring, and, following approval by the Guernsey Financial Services Commission, a complete range of fiduciary services.

Following the establishment of Appleby Guernsey, the firm will have 12 offices worldwide in the key offshore centers of Bermuda, the British Virgin Islands, the Cayman Islands, the Isle of Man, Jersey, Mauritius, Seychelles and Guernsey, as well as the leading financial centers of London, Hong Kong, Zurich and Bahrain.

The move follows the firm’s successful launch in the Isle of Man, through its merger with Dickinson Cruickshank, and new office openings in the Seychelles, Bahrain and Zurich in 2009, taking Appleby to 79 partners and over 210 lawyers, and a total of over 800 staff.

Peter Bubenzer, Appleby’s Global Managing Partner, commented: “We are very excited about this development. Our entry into the Guernsey market further builds our strength and depth across multiple jurisdictions – providing greater resources and a wider choice to our clients.”
