The Guernsey market has embraced our offering as a focused, specialist law firm providing pragmatic legal solutions to those buying, selling, managing or investing in alternative assets across private equity, real estate, infrastructure and hedge. By partnering with Babbé, we are demonstrating our long-term commitment to the island, and are looking forward to working closely with their team in building an even more compelling legal offering in investment funds, mergers and acquisitions and equity capital markets. Across the MJ Hudson global network, and particularly through our offices in London and Zurich, we have brought a number of new funds, managers and transactions to Guernsey over the past year and, through this collaboration with Babbé, we are enhancing our ability to introduce even more opportunities to the island. ”
