Client Feedback

Pinel Advocates is a leading offshore law firm, advising on range of Jersey legal matters.

We pride ourselves on our different approach, with the client relationship more important than short-term fee gains. Our lawyers work differently; they don’t have any billing targets or pressures. Their focus is delivering the best result for the client. Our clients return to us and recommend us to others. That’s really important.

We are completely independent. We don’t have a trust company or fund adminstration business, nor do we have offices outside Jersey. That means that we can focus on delivering the best service, without any conflicts of interest.

Truly independent.

Refreshingly competitive.

A personal service based upon relationships.

Simple, efficient and hassle-free.

Building relationships.

We’re not looking for short term gains. We want to work with you and your business for years to come. That’s the way we’ve always done it. We have client relationships that have lasted 25 years and we’ve had many clients instruct us time and time again.

Jersey improves its already appealing Jersey Private Funds regime

Jersey has significantly upgraded its Jersey Private Fund (JPF) framework, marking a pivotal shift implemented on 6 August 2025. These enhancements, introduced via a revised JPF Guide and a new statutory instrument, the Collective Investment Funds (Jersey Private Funds) Order 2025, introduce broader eligibility, scalability, and flexibility for fund managers.

Reinstatement of Companies

Companies registered in Jersey can be removed from the Register of Companies for various reasons. Pinel Advocates can help to reinstatement them, on a simple, fixed-fee basis.

Exchange and completion legal opinions: why pay twice?

Why pay twice?

At Pinel Advocates, we believe in offering a high-quality, proactive and efficient service for a fair fee. Legal opinion work can be relatively simple or it can be difficult, depending upon the matter. However, we prefer to work on fixed fees, agreed in advance.

Local businesses: do you have a risk?

Has your business declared a dividend or made a distribution to your shareholders?

If so, did you have a solvency statement, signed by the shareholders, beforehand?

Migration of Companies

Pinel Advocates can assist with all legal aspects of a migration of a company or to or from Jersey, including foreign law requirements (through our partner law firms).

Jersey Foundations

Jersey foundations provide a flexible and robust legal structure for wealth management, succession planning, charitable purposes, and corporate structuring. Established under the Foundations (Jersey) Law 2009, Jersey foundations combine features of both trusts and companies, making them an attractive option for individuals and businesses seeking a structured yet adaptable entity.

Intermeddling: the increasingly common offence.

If a person dies domiciled in Jersey, Article 19(1) of the Probate (Jersey) Law 1998 (‘the 1998 Law) provides that the production of a grant shall be necessary to establish the right to recover or receive any part of the deceased’s movable estate situated in Jersey.
