Offshore law firm Appleby has been ranked tier 1 across all six practice categories in Legal 500’s 2026 Caribbean Guide.

The six are banking, finance and capital markets; corporate and commercial; dispute resolution; insurance/reinsurance; regulatory and compliance; and trusts/private client.

Twenty-seven lawyers at the firm were recognised, 24 of whom as leading partners, next generation partners or leading associates’ categories.

Bermuda managing partner Brad Adderley said: “We are profoundly honoured to once again be recognised as a tier 1 firm, distinguished by the highest number of tier 1 category rankings in the Bermuda market.”

Mr Adderley said this continued recognition reflected the unwavering dedication, depth of expertise and client-first ethos of their exceptional legal professionals.

“We extend our sincere gratitude to our valued clients, whose enduring trust in our counsel inspires us to deliver thoughtful, solution-oriented service with integrity and excellence,” he said.

The publication stated of the Appleby lawyers: “They all have strong global reach and contacts, which is often important.”

It gave kudos to Mr Adderley saying he remained a key authority on regulatory matters and continued to be a valuable resource for broader legal and commercial insights.
