Multi-jurisdictional matters for both borrowers and lenders are strengths of the team at Appleby, which involves a mix of lawyers across various disciplines, as well as from across its international network of offices. International asset finance transactions are also a notable forte. Corporate group head Jeffrey Kirk oversees banking and finance matters too, while Jersey-based Andrew Jowett also spends time at the BVI office and stands out for financing work in the energy and natural resources space. Shana Simmonds has expertise in secured and structured financings and private equity transactions, and David Clark, primarily working from Bermuda, is a further prominent figure in BVI matters for the firm.
