Guernsey Company Law Amendments - 2008

This memorandum has been prepared for the assistance of our clients in connection with the introduction of the Companies (Guernsey) Law, 2008 (the "Companies Law") and the repeal of the previous legislation. It is intended to provide only a summary of the main legal and general principles and it is not intended to be comprehensive in scope. It is strongly recommended that you seek specific legal advice on such matters and we would be pleased to assist in this respect. A series of briefings on other specific aspects of Guernsey companies has been produced by Ogier and is available on our website www.ogier.com. Transitional provisions have also been made (a separate briefing addresses the operation of these).
