Appleby is tasked by sponsors with both the structuring of their Jersey vehicles and the financing thereof, with expertise spanning the private equity, real estate and infrastructure asset classes. Andrew Weaver leads the group, frequently advising on the launch of Jersey Private Funds and guiding clients through the Bailiwick’s regulatory landscape. Tim Morgan‘s client base spans private equity, real estate and credit funds, among others, and he is equally at home assisting them with fund launches as he is accompanying them through Jersey Private Funds and AIFMD regulatory requirements. Fund formation, as well as fundraising, form the core of Paul Worsnop’s practice.
