Capacity Opinions

Trusted Jersey legal opinions for global contracts and cross border assurance.

Jersey based entities conduct business all over the world and are often part of global corporate structures. Where a Jersey entity is required to enter into contracts or agreements with entities based in another jurisdiction, or is part of a broader cross-jurisdictional transaction, it is essential that all parties have comfort that the Jersey entity is of good standing and is acting within its powers. We can provide that comfort and assurance.
