In a statement, Keystone Law said: ’It is with great regret that we inform clients and colleagues of the death of our colleague and good friend Charles Coleman.
’Charles was a charismatic, talented and determined advocate who was passionate about his work and whose professionalism was highly respected within the Manx Bar.
’He had an adventurous spirit and his loss will be deeply felt both at Keystone and more widely within the Isle of Man’s legal community - but particularly by those who were lucky enough to work with him as friends, clients and colleagues.
’Our heartfelt condolences go to all those who knew Charles but particularly his family, friends and loved ones.’
Mr Coleman specialised in complex and high value financial services and company disputes. Among his cases included acting for the trustees of the estate of JRR Tolkien in a US$80m dispute over licensing rights to the Lord of the Rings trilogy.
