The Companies (Jersey) Law, 1991, the principal legislation governing Jersey companies, has recently been updated by two amending Laws, enhancing Jersey’s competitiveness further still.
The first Amendment Law came into force on Monday 1 June 2026 and introduced over 80 amendments designed to ensure Jersey’s company law remains modern, user friendly, flexible and effective.
The changes affect all Jersey companies, including public and listed ones.
