DQ

DQ‘s banking and finance practice is headed by Andrew Harding, who has considerable experience acting for borrowers and lenders alike as Isle of Man counsel on secured lending matters. The depth of the practice is illustrated by Mark Dougherty, who leads on existing facility agreement amendments, and Donna Matthews and Esme Scott, both trusted by large clients in the ship financing sector on a range of matters. The department’s depth was bolstered by the arrivals of Helen Fretwell, formerly of the Attorney General’s office, and Cains' Matthew Wilkinson, in October 2024 and January 2025 respectively.
