The Appleby team was led by corporate partner Kyle Sutherland with support from associate Sophie Corkish. Commenting on the transaction, Kyle Sutherland, said: “We were delighted to work once again with long standing client NEPI Rockcastle on such a significant and interesting transaction. Our Isle of Man team has built a significant track record advising on bond issuances by Isle of Man and BVI companies over the last few years.”
