The Legal Market & Demand

The Isle of Man has approximately ten commercial law firms advising companies and individuals worldwide on commercial law. The firms focus on all the principal commercial practice areas and some have been advising clients for over 100 years. The firms are able to provide a wonderfully relaxed working environment (with average hours being 8.30-6.00) whilst still providing access to high quality offshore work.

Isle of Man (Manx) law is closely based on English law and work in the top firms will have a strong cross-border flavour. Foreign lawyers are able to practice as registered legal practitioners but are not permitted to undertake conveyancing, litigation or probate unless they re-qualify as an Advocate.
