Appleby Maintains Leading Performance in Property Sector

Offshore legal, fiduciary and administration services provider Appleby has retained its top ranking as a leading provider of legal services to the commercial property sector, according to Chambers and Partners Europe.

The latest Jersey rankings have just been published by the legal directory, which says that Appleby is an ‘outstanding firm [that] continues to win plaudits for its first-rate property group.'

Chambers is recognised as one of the most influential publications about the legal profession, providing qualitative assessments based on objective interviews undertaken by an independent team of researchers.

Law firms and individual lawyers are ranked in bands from 1-6, with 1 being the best. The qualities on which rankings are assessed include technical legal ability, professional conduct, client service, commercial astuteness, diligence, commitment, and other qualities most valued by the client.

In the most recent assessment, Appleby was described as ‘first choice for commercial property transactions; the lawyers are undisputed specialists in this field."

Tim Hart, Head of Appleby's Property Practice said: ‘We are very pleased to retain our tier one ranking, which demonstrates our commitment to providing our clients with commercially-focused, expert advice and excellent service. To be adjudged in a robust and independent survey as being among the best in our sector is a tribute to the hard work and dedication of the whole property team.'
