A solicitor at offshore firm Appleby has been charged with assault for glassing someone at a Jersey hotel.

30-year-old Daniel Healy, an associate at scandal-plagued Appleby, is accused of attacking a man at the Royal Yacht Club Hotel early on Sunday morning. He is alleged to have smashed a glass into a 26-year-old's face, causing an injury which required 20 stitches. Healy has been charged with grave and criminal assault, and being disorderly on licensed premises. After appearing at Jersey Magistrate's Court on Monday, Healy was released on £5,000 bail without entering a plea.

Healy, a New Zealander, joined Appleby as an associate last July after working at BLP for three years in its London office. Four months after Healy's arrival, Appleby was thrust into the limelight after 6.8 million of its documents were leaked. Forming a sizeable chunk of the 'Paradise Papers', they exposed the controversial offshore financial dealings of scores of Appleby clients, including Prince Charles, Lewis Hamilton, numerous oligarchs and three of Mrs Brown's Boys. Before all that, its lawyers held a poor white trash-themed party.

On Wednesday this week, Healy deleted his LinkedIn profile. Despite the lawyer not being convicted of anything, Appleby has already scrubbed all mention of him from its website. The firm did not respond to multiple requests for comment on whether it had terminated Healy's employment.
