For our conservative readership, the success of Jersey’s Carey Olsen in facilitating such a significant international transaction is a feather in the cap for the island’s legal industry. It’s a clear demonstration that Jersey’s professionals can punch well above their weight on the global stage.

In the grand scheme of things, this sale is more than just a transfer of assets; it’s a showcase of Jersey’s potential to be a key player in international business. And as always, NSFW will keep a watchful eye on these developments, ensuring that the interests of Jersey and its residents are never sidelined in the pursuit of global ambitions.
