Aborigine - David Metaxas
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 Capital Taxes and Estate Planning in Europe - and International Insurance Law and Regulation.
Personal Injury
After years in general private practice in the UK, Hazel was the Principal In-House Solicitor for a major syndicate of Lloyds for 9 years. She specialised in catastrophic injuries and fatal accidents with claims of the highest value. Her approach to all cases is pragmatic and commercial but never losing sight of the human tragedy involved in any accident.
Commercial Litigation
Directors' qualifications, commercial claims, professional negligence and disputed Wills have been revived in Hazel's practice areas since she arrived on the Island. Her ethos is that the client is entitled to bespoke practical advice. This may involve urgent action in Court or measured consideration of the whole situation. She promotes use of mediation as a tool for dispute resolution in appropriate cases and has initiated successful mediations involving difficult, emotionally charged subject matter.
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.
