The firm maintains a team of Isle of Man advocates who deliver a wide range of services across civil litigation, personal injury, property law, probate and private client matters, supported by local knowledge of Isle of Man courts and regulatory processes.

Senior advocates within the firm bring specific sector experience in litigation, conveyancing, commercial matters and private client work, and the firm has a record of involvement in island legal institutions. This depth of experience enables the firm to handle both routine matters and complex, contested cases that require appearances before the Isle of Man courts.

The firm acts for residents and overseas clients, emphasises clear communication, and seeks pragmatic solutions through negotiation or court representation as appropriate to clients objectives and the particularities of Manx law.
