Bernard O'Kelly BCL, AITI CTA, Barrister-at-Law

Tax Barrister

Originally from Ireland, Bernard studied law at UCD before going on to become a barrister at Kings Inn. He was called to the Irish Bar in 1986. However, rather than pursuing a more direct legal career, Bernard opted for a career in taxation. During that time, he qualified at the Irish Taxation Institute.

Since moving to the Isle of Man in 1992, he has developed numerous offshore tax solutions while working with leading international firms and specialised international tax consultancy firms.

Bernard likes running (very slowly), photography and spending time at home with the family.
