Appleby is set to launch in Guernsey with the hire of four lawyers from rival offshore law firm Ozannes and the relocation of a London partner.

City banking and asset finance team leader David Clark is set to move to Guernsey to head up the new office. He will work alongside new corporate partners Barney Lee and Helen Crossley and litigation and insolvency and private client and trust partners Jeremy Le Tissier and Gavin Ferguson. All four were previously associates with Ozannes.
