Mourant distinguishes itself through its unparalleled depth in Jersey fund law combined with a genuinely collaborative approach to client service. What sets the team apart is their fluency in the full fund lifecycle. That practical orientation, combined with technical excellence in JFSC regulatory compliance and fund formation, makes them a rare combination of rigorous and pragmatic.
The team has a deep understanding of the Jersey market and funds landscape. They are well tied into the goings-on locally and are therefore very well positioned to provide appropriate advice. They are sensible in the way that they quote and invoice.
Ben Robins and Stefan Chinniah are very sensible and steady hands when it comes to providing high-quality advice.
Alistair Horn is very commercial; he completely understands what his clients are trying to achieve and will always go the extra mile to make sure the Jersey requirements are delivered, whether that's advice, opinions, etc.
Joel Hernandez and Rebecca Fletcher both need individual shout-outs here. Both are exceptional at their jobs and are excellent at building relationships with clients. They know Jersey Fund law inside out, and this is appreciated as a client, as we have complete trust in them. Joel's personal skills are the best of any lawyer I have met, both in the UK and Jersey.
Exceptional service delivery and a commercial approach to structuring and problem solving.
