Practice Areas
Trusts
Paul is one of the leading trust practitioners on the Isle of Man who has been published worldwide over many years. He has extensive experience of structure design and implementation and in Chancery of defending the rights and responsibilities of trustees and of beneficiaries alike. He lectures widely and is often invited to run staff training seminars.
Company and Commercial
Paul takes the view that it is not enough simply to advise blandly on corporate and commercial law without going the extra mile and proposing business implementation strategies based on his Board Room experience (he is a former head of Fiduciary Services in Europe of Deutsche Bank (Suisse) S.A). For over a decade he has been a contributing author to major works, including European Cross-Border Estate Planning - and International Insurance Law and Regulation.
Residential and Commercial Conveyancing
Elizabeth has made commercial conveyancing and leasehold an area of specialism since coming to the Island in 2001. Elizabeth also works in commercial law, which can be of great benefit when a property transaction is running alongside a business sale for example.
We are in the minority of advocates practices on the Island, in that we have designated qualified people specialising in this area. This can make all the difference to your sale or purchase, especially as the Island is still predominantly made up of unregistered land.
Whilst buying, selling and leasing property can be one of the most significant and taxing situations in an individuals life, we aim to make the experience as simple and smooth as possible.
Private Client Department
At Mannin Chambers we like to dispel the public perception of the expression “Private Client” this is often wrongly perceived as being the reserve of high net worth individuals with complex requirements. We prefer to think of our “Private Clients” as personal customers, with the same level of service being offered to everyone.
We pride ourselves in offering a kind, supportive and professional service.
Commercial Litigation
In the current difficult times our ethos remains that the client is entitled to bespoke practical advice. This may involve urgent action in Court as well as measured consideration of the whole situation.
Criminal Law
Expertise in Criminal Law covers the Summary Courts through to General Gaol and Staff of Government proceedings, meaning that the most minor road traffic offence and the most serious offences on the Statute books can be dealt with effectively.
Experience as a Senior Defence Advocate advising and assisting clients through every stage of the legal process from interview at the Police Station through to appearance at Court hearings. A comprehensive service is undertaken with a professional approach at all times.
Privately funded and Legal Aid cases are readily accepted.
Human Rights
Mannin Chambers is rare among commercial firms in being also
a leading Human Rights practice, recognising that this is not
self-contained but a constitutional measure of fundamental
importance which takes precedence over ordinary legislation and
so touches every aspect of the law, be it international,
private, commercial or criminal.
