Keystone Law

Firm announces Isle of Man launch

Keystone Law has announced that it is launching in the Isle of Man.

The move will make Keystone the first firm, with direct links to the UK, to establish a presence on the island, in over 20 years.

Keystone aims to boost the Isle of Man’s reputation as an international business centre, strengthening the symbiotic relationship between the UK and the Isle of Man whilst aiding facilitating business growth in both locations.

The core team of the new practice is Geoff Kermeen, Stephen Rodd, Gillian Christian, Ben Hughes and Charlie Whipp.

Keystone’s managing director and founder, James Knight, who grew up in the Isle of Man, says: “For the past 14 years we have worked tirelessly to create a cutting edge law firm that is orientated around the needs of modern businesses. Keystone’s phenomenal success is due to the fact that we deliver a level of service and value that cannot be found elsewhere. This helps make our clients more successful than they would otherwise be. Until now, companies on the Isle of Man have been excluded from the Keystone story, so I am incredibly excited at the prospect of bringing these benefits to a place that is very close to my heart.”
