"Why are your fees so much lower than my usual Jersey lawyers?"

We deliberately keep our fee low, as we see the value in legal opinions for us as a business development tool.  We would like you to test us with legal opinions and then trust us with your other work. 

Plus, on every legal opinion matter, we deal with many parties - borrowers, lenders, lawyers in the UK, trust companies, tax advisors, property development groups - all of whom are potential clients for us.

We also have lower overheads.  We don't have expensive offices or a trust company to support. 

"Do you work with the major banks and property groups?"

We regularly provide our legal opinions to all the major international lenders, from the biggest high street names, to private lenders, sellers, buyers, tenants and local authorities. We have legal opinions tailored to the recipients, including opinions for the Land Registry opinions and overseas lenders. We have some of the biggest property groups as very loyal clients.

"Is your PI insurance cover high enough?"

Pinel Advocates retains a high level of PI insurance cover and would be happy to provide confirmation of this.

"Will my other advisers be happy working with you?"

We work with a wide range of legal advisers, predominantly in the UK. In all likelihood, we will be well known to your trusted advisers. Unlike other Jersey law firms, we do not practice English law, so they will probably be pleased to work with us, as we are not competing with them.this.

"Will my other advisers be happy working with you?"

Certainly; we can provide direct client references from property developers, investors and legal or tax advisers, as you wish.
