Regulatory and Funds
We advise on the regulatory and practical aspects of structuring investment into Jersey vehicles and fund formation.
Our experience of the whole lifecycle of our clients’ structures, from establishing vehicles, financing them, buying and selling assets, and finally winding up the structure ensures that we know the structures we work on well. This, and our small team approach, enables us to respond efficiently when Jersey law advice is needed.
We also advise Jersey regulated businesses on other financial services regulatory issues, including AML and change of control consent from the JFSC.
