Appleby is a Tier 1 firm and remains the powerhouse in the Cayman real estate sector, leading in the luxury resort, commercial, residential, infrastructure and financing sub-sectors of the market – no other firm can claim the same level of experience across the full range of transactional real estate. For example, Appleby represented the five major retail banks on over US$200m of new real estate finance over the last year (approx. 35% increase year on year).
We have a uniquely experienced and growing team of lawyers and support staff practising exclusively in this field (based on number and experience of team members and their day-to-day exposure to complex and high value transactions). Managing Partner and Head of Property Norman Klein and Partner Adam Johnson are two of the most respected real estate practitioners in Cayman.

I am a great fan of Adam Johnson. He is thorough and great to work with. His advice is very commercial and very straightforward. He is always responsive, clear and precise.
His knowledge of how transactions are to be conducted in Cayman is second to none, and he is a skilled lawyer who has great technical ability but also great commercial awareness.
Adam is by far the best real estate lawyer I have dealt with in the Cayman Islands. He understands what is trying to be achieved in a transaction and adds value in seeing that goal reached.
Adam is very knowledgeable and readily available to hash out even the most complex problems. He has a very strong reputation in the local legal community.
Norm has the ability to provide commercial solutions to complex and sophisticated structures. Matters are always turned around in a timely manner and completed to a high standard.
Norm is considered the leading real estate attorney in the local market. His length of experience has proven invaluable, and he has a wealth of knowledge regarding real estate law and best practices.
Norm is very knowledgeable, practical and pragmatic. He is also very client-service focused and always meets, or even exceeds, expectations.
He is my go-to person for any complex matter because I know he will give the right advice and have my company's best interest in mind.
In my view, Norm is the strongest, most experienced and most respected real estate legal practitioner in the Cayman Islands.
