Mourant, a law firm-led professional services business, has once again secured its position as the top legal adviser to investment funds in Jersey according to the 2024 Monterey Fund Report.
The report is published annually by Monterey Insight, an independent fund research company, and provides a comprehensive statistical analysis of all funds domiciled, serviced or distributed in Jersey.
This year's findings highlight Mourant’s continued market leadership, with the firm achieving the highest combined market share by assets and number of funds advised among all legal advisers in Jersey.
