Filing of shareholders’ agreements and external documents referred to in articles of association: Jersey law and practice

This article examines Jersey law around the filing of shareholders’ agreements and external documents referred to in a Jersey company’s articles of association. It then considers the established local and relevant foreign practice that has developed in this area to conclude that, if such practice is followed, in all but exceptional circumstances Jersey practitioners may properly and robustly advise their clients that the risk that such a filing is required is very low (if such risk exists).
