These Are the Paradise Papers

The latest offshore data leak pries open the door on the wheeling and dealing of the super-rich and major corporations.

Appleby is a market leader in the offshore business, with annual revenues of $100 million, 470 employees and offices in nearly every major tax haven. Appleby was founded in Hamilton, the capital of Bermuda. The building the law firm occupies there today may be unspectacular, but its roster of clients is not. It includes princesses, prime ministers and Hollywood stars, along with some of the world’s richest oligarchs from Russia, the Middle East, Asia and Africa.
