In addition to assisting employers with the onboarding and departure, including contentious ones, of executive-level employees, Carey Olsen is the firm of choice for the trustees of public and private sector employee pension schemes. Leading on advisory employment matters and employment litigation is Huw Thomas, who appears for financial services clients defending claims of unfair termination or discrimination. Alexa Saunders oversees the pensions arm of the practice, and she and Julie Currie both advise on the structuring and governance of pension schemes, including the use of trust structures, tax matters and, when necessary the restructuring of pension schemes. Tarina Le Boutillier is the key contact for businesses looking to set up operations in Jersey, also assisting them with related immigration matters.
