Independent Legal Advice to Directors, Senior Executives, and Partners

Directors, senior executives, and business partners often face decisions that carry legal, regulatory, and reputational consequences. Whether in the context of corporate governance, employment arrangements, fiduciary duties, or commercial negotiations, independent legal advice can be essential to ensure that personal and professional interests are properly protected.

At Parslows LLP, we provide independent legal advice to individuals in leadership and ownership roles across a range of business sectors. Our work includes advising on contractual obligations, boardroom dynamics and risk management. We act where clarity, discretion, and independence from internal or institutional conflicts are required.

Our clients include directors navigating shareholder disputes, executives negotiating service agreements or exit packages, and partners involved in restructuring or succession planning. We also advise on liability exposure, indemnities, and directors’ duties under Jersey law, particularly where decisions may be subject to scrutiny or challenge.

In many cases, individuals seek advice separate from the company’s legal advisers. This may be due to a potential conflict of interest, a breakdown in trust, or the need for a second opinion on a matter affecting personal liability or reputation. We provide a confidential and impartial service, focused on the individual’s position and objectives.

Our team is experienced in reviewing and negotiating employment contracts, partnership agreements, board resolutions, and other documentation relevant to senior roles. We also advise on regulatory investigations, disciplinary matters, and other concerns, ensuring that our clients understand their rights and obligations before taking action.

Where disputes arise, we work closely with our litigation and dispute resolution colleagues to assess the risks and develop a strategy. This may involve negotiation, mediation, or formal proceedings before the Royal Court of Jersey. We aim to resolve matters efficiently and with minimal disruption to ongoing business operations.

We also support clients during transitions, whether stepping into a new role, exiting a business, or managing a change in ownership or control. These situations often involve complex legal and financial arrangements, and we provide clear, practical advice to help clients make informed decisions.

If you are a director, senior executive, or partner seeking independent legal advice, Parslows LLP is well placed to assist. Contact us for a confidential discussion about your situation and how we can support you.
