We want to develop a long-term relationship with our local business clients.
NURSING & CARE HOME CONTRACTS
We can advise on all of the contracts and arrangements for the ownership of your care home. Having good, correct agreements avoids disputes or problems in the future. This includes contracts for privately funded residents and service user contracts.
CARE HOME PROPERTY MATTERS
Pinel Advocates has a very experienced property team, with decades of experience in Jersey commercial property work. We can advise on leases, acquisitions, rent reviews, dilapidation issues and any other matters relating to care home properties.
CARE HOME Business sales and purchases
The team at Pinel Advocates have wide ranging experience of acquisitions, sales and mergers of care homes. We have provided advice to local and international businesses and can deal with all associated regulatory, tax and governmental matters.
CARE HOME EMPLOYMENT LAW
Pinel Advocates' employment team can advise on both existing and new care home and nursing employment contracts, staff handbooks, policies and procedures, redundancy and compromise agreements.
CARE HOME DATA PROTECTION
We can assist care homes with all elements of preparation required to make your business ‘GDPR-ready’ including in relation to data audit, privacy notices, terms and conditions, policies and procedures and staff training. Care homes manage a great deal of ‘sensitive personal data’, so it is vital to get this right.
WILLS & PROBATE FOR CARE HOME RESIDENTS
We can assist with the preparation of wills for care home residents. Our friendly team have many years of experience and are easy to deal with. We are happy to come to the care home to discuss the will and to explain documents carefully.
We can also assist with probate matters for care home residents, dealing with matters professionally and delicately.
DELEGATE APPOINTMENTS
We often take on the role of delegate, in situations where a care home resident needs assistance in managing their financial affairs.
We work closely with family and the care home, in order to deliver the very best service for the client.
