Writing in this week’s NLJ, Philip Sinel, senior partner at Jersey firm Sinels, offers the English courts lessons from offshore. What can the courts in these different jurisdictions learn from each other?
Sinel is based in Jersey but frequently litigates in England and further abroad, and therefore has a good vantage point to compare the operations of some offshore courts to those of the courts in England and Wales.
