Sophia Howell-Evans > Appleby > Douglas, Isle Of Man > Lawyer Profile

Fielding a market-leading banking and finance group, Appleby’s team of experienced solicitors has recently been involved in some of the island’s significant refinancings. Blue-chip banking clients, among others, instruct the firm for its breadth of expertise and international experience. Recently, co-chair Garry Manley has advised on the high-value listings of debt securities by Isle of Man companies, including on the NYSE, while co-chair Tom Brook advises on debt finance matters, bond issuances, and takeovers for international financial institutions and companies. Sophie Corkish and Sophia Howell-Evans both routinely advise on high-value transactions, and Eleanor Harding focuses on asset finance transactions, particularly shipping and aviation finance work.

Appleby possesses market-leading experience in the gambling sector and gaming law and combines its expertise with knowledge of financial services regulations. Claire Milne heads up the tech and innovation team and is one of the island’s leading gambling and eGaming experts. Caren Pegg bolsters the practice’s contentious regulatory and employment offering, while clients that have invested in the gambling and technology sectors leverage Katherine Garrood‘s regulatory advice. Both Sophie Corkish and Sophia Howell-Evans are key members of the team who have acted on some of the team’s key financing work.
