Appleby

Appleby remains one of the go-to firms in fund financing, as well as offering a broad and strong service across structured finance, corporate finance, and the range of adjacent practice areas. The practice is renowned as lenders’ counsel and acts for a host of leading names including multinational banks and financial institutions on some of the most complex matters in the Cayman Islands market. Simon Raftopoulos coordinates the team and is the local corporate group head for the firm, taking a major role in the corporate finance matters. Benjamin Woolf is a further standout name, a leading figure in structured finance in the Cayman Islands. Jacob MacAdam assists across corporate finance, private equity, insurance and regulatory, while the banking and asset finance sub group is led by Caroline Barton. Georgina Pullinger is another in the corporate team with finance law expertise, and Dean Bennett is one of the firm’s go-to partners for transactional matters. Asset finance and subscription finance are the two main pillars of Alexandra Simpson‘s work in this area, and the hire of Maree Martin from Conyers in May 2024 bolstered the support team.
