By GlobalDataGavin Ferguson, managing partner for Appleby’s Guernsey office, said:
"Guernsey is an important market for Appleby. The last year has been a busy transactional year for Guernsey, particularly from a fund and fund management perspective, where we have seen a number of large deals including new entrants to the market. This activity is continuing and it is further evidence of Guernsey being an attractive jurisdiction for international business."
