Consultant Advocate – Litigation and Dispute Resolution (Isle of Man)

Keystone Law is a firm that was founded upon a desire to do things differently. The original concept was to build a law firm in which lawyers could focus on working with clients, free from management obligations and administrative distractions, whilst being helped by teams of people who are there to support them. The concept endures to this day.

Keystone Law is a multiple award-winning firm that continues to challenge convention in the legal sector and is consistently lauded for its innovation, including being named Law Firm of the Year in 2020 at the prestigious The Lawyer Awards: the ultimate accolade in the legal profession.

Keystone Law (Isle of Man) Limited was established ten years ago and quickly went on to be named Legal 500 Offshore Law Firm of the Year in 2018.

Keystone Law has also previously been crowned Happiest Law Firm of the Year by RollOnFriday. Keystone lawyers are known to be some of the most satisfied and driven individuals in the legal profession.
