Commercial litigation advocate Andrew Langan-Newton has joined Keystone Law Isle of Man from Cains.

He joins a team of four senior advocates.

He specialises in commercial disputes and has extensive expertise in advising on alleged fraud, professional negligence, insolvency, and commercial debt recovery.

He has a particular interest in trust and corporate disputes.

During his career, he has argued cases before the Isle of Man High Court and Appeal Court on behalf of a wide range of local and international clients.

Mr Langan-Newton also advises clients in relation to claims before the Isle of Man Employment and Equality Tribunal, providing data protection advice, and preparing non-contentious applications to the Isle of Man Court and to the Isle of Man Companies Registry.

Gillian Christian, director of Keystone Law Isle of Man, said: ’Keystone’s litigation team is fast becoming one of the leading practices in the island and the addition of Andrew will only further cement our excellent reputation.

’His solid experience is the perfect fit for our team who are all highly skilled litigators and will strengthen our ability to provide practical advice to our clients on their complex litigation cases.’

Mr Langan-Newton said: ’With the exemplary knowledge and expertise in the Keystone team, the award-winning working environment and support systems, and the international network of Keystone offices, it was an obvious decision for me to join the firm to develop my career in the Isle of Man.’

Keystone launched in the Isle of Man in 2016. The company is listed on the AIM market at the London Stock Exchange.

In 2019, the team was joined by specialist litigator Andrew Marshall from Gough Law.

The Isle of Man is a special place for Keystone Law’s chief executive James Knight, who is based in London.

He has family links with the island where he has lived previously.
