Leading offshore law firm Appleby has announced the appointment of Adam Geldard to the position of Counsel in its Cayman office. This promotion, effective 2 April 2012, further reflects the firm’s strength and depth across its Property group.

Adam practises principally in the area of property and commercial law, specialising in property development, strata and other structured title ownership, contract law, commercial and residential conveyancing, property finance and commercial leasing. He joined the firm in 2007 and prior to that he worked in London for Government and in Australia for top-tier law firms Mallesons Stephen Jaques and Baker & McKenzie.

Norm Klein, Partner and Property Local Practice Group Head commented: “This is a well deserved promotion for a key member of our team. The experience and professionalism of Adam has always been valued by our colleagues and clients and I am delighted this has been recognised.

Property is one of our core legal service lines and this promotion is testament to the continuing strength of the practice and reinforces our leading position in Cayman.”

The announcement follows a number of recent appointments and promotions by the Appleby Group, including the arrival of Peter McMaster, QC and Christopher Russell, both as Partner’s in the Litigation and Insolvency Practice Group in Cayman.
