2 OVERVIEW Jersey s strong track record of product and service innovation has been built on a foundation that includes a mature and respected legal system, progressive regulatory regime and professional workforce. The Island provides the global financial system with an independent financial centre close to the United Kingdom and mainland Europe, and is also well placed to serve clients in both the Far East and New York. The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) recently acknowledged the strength of Jersey s financial system, which has never experienced a major bank or fund failure. The OECD has placed Jersey on its White List of approved jurisdictions, stating that the Island was adhering to the internationally agreed principles of transparency and co-operation for the exchange of taxrelated information. The IMF, in its Financial System Stability Assessment Update report, praised Jersey s high standards of regulation and supervision, stating that Jersey is in the top division of international financial centres, including those in the G20 and European Union. Jersey is classified as being compliant or largely compliant with 44 of the 49 general Financial Action Task Force (FATF) recommendations, more than many other jurisdictions. Our lawyers have been active in Jersey s finance sector since its inception, helping shape and develop the Island s financial services laws and regulations. Both the OECD and IMF assessments confirm that Jersey s laws and regulations comply with international standards and keep pace with financial sector developments. The IMF assessment, in particular, also confirms that Jersey s banking system is resilient to a range of shocks and that the financial soundness indicators for banks are satisfactory. Appleby has more than 85 staff in Jersey, including more than 30 lawyers. Our lawyers have been active in Jersey s finance sector since its inception, helping shape and develop the Island s financial services laws and regulations. Our clients include leading law firms, blue chip financial institutions, international FTSE 250/Fortune 500 and local Jersey companies and high-net-worth individuals. The leading legal directories have long recognised our excellent reputation in the areas of Corporate, Dispute Resolution, Property, and Private Clients and Trusts. Chambers Global, and Legal 500 have consistently ranked us in the top and leading tiers for our work. Our clients have described us as being without a shadow of a doubt one of the best in Jersey, where our lawyers are always on top of what needs to be done and execute strategy well and don t waste clients money. 2
