Appleby‘s banking, finance and capital markets team is regularly instructed by a clientele spanning large local and global corporations. The practice co-leaders are Tom Brook and Garry Manley. Brook is a leader in debt, real estate and acquisition financing, with close working relationships with major Isle of Man and international banks, while Manley is a multi-disciplinary specialist who advises on banking and financial legal requirements amid transactions. The bench depth of the practice is demonstrated by Eleanor Harding, a shipping and aviation financing specialist, Sophie Corkish, who leads on asset financing transactions and Sophia Howell-Evans, who excels in debt and trust restructuring matters.

Instructed by large clients across a wide range of industry sectors on domestic and international matters alike, Cains’ banking and finance team is led by Tim Shepherd, who excels in debt and acquisition financings for clients in banking and investment, and Scott Leonard-Morgan, a loan facility agreement specialist. Boasting an intra-group approach, the talents of the department are bolstered by the experience of Tristan Head in documentation and regulatory compliance matters, and commercial real estate expert Stephanie Chew. Associates Holly McGarrigle, highly knowledgeable in corporate sales, acquisitions and insolvencies, and cross-border financing and restructuring specialist Catherine Hamill are also prominent.

DQ‘s banking and finance practice is headed by Andrew Harding, who has considerable experience acting for borrowers and lenders alike as Isle of Man counsel on secured lending matters. The depth of the practice is illustrated by Mark Dougherty, who leads on existing facility agreement amendments, and Donna Matthews and Esme Scott, both trusted by large clients in the ship financing sector on a range of matters. The department’s depth was bolstered by the arrivals of Helen Fretwell, formerly of the Attorney General’s office, and Cains' Matthew Wilkinson, in October 2024 and January 2025 respectively.

Particularly renowned for its work in the real estate field, Keystone Law‘s banking and finance team works with clients on both borrower and lender-side mandates. Managing director Geoff Kermeen marshals his skills and experience in the British and European commercial real estate sectors, specialising in loan facility establishment and acquisition financing. Sally Cranshaw and William Margot provide Isle of Man legal and regulatory counsel on global financial transactions, and Hazel Dawson is experienced in counselling listed companies on an array of debt, tax, rights and regulatory issues.

Simcocks' banking and finance team has established relationships with large international law firms, financial institutions and property companies.
