Insightful legal opinions for Jersey companies
Legal opinions are a standard requirement in many cross-border transactions involving Jersey entities. They provide confirmation of an entity’s legal capacity and the enforceability of transaction documents under Jersey law. Parslows LLP regularly provides Jersey legal opinions for transactions involving companies, partnerships, and foundations, supporting legal and commercial professionals across a range of jurisdictions.
A Jersey legal opinion is typically required in corporate restructurings, acquisitions, and other commercial transactions. These opinions generally address two key areas: the capacity, power, and authority of the Jersey entity to enter into and perform its obligations under the relevant documents, and the enforceability of those documents under Jersey law. In many cases, the opinion forms part of the completion documentation and is relied upon by counterparties and advisers to assess legal risk.
