George Walmsley has been called to the Manx Bar having passed his exams on his first attempt.

He was sworn in as an Isle of Man advocate by the island’s First Deemster Andrew Corlett.

Mr Walmsley joined Cains in August 2018, having achieved a distinction in his Legal Practice Course at the BPP University Law School in Liverpool. Prior to that he obtained a first-class honours degree in law and politics at the University of Lancaster.

He works within Cains’ top tier corporate and commercial department and assists with advising on corporate matters including banking and debt finance, mergers and acquisitions, asset finance and property finance.
