The recession that spawned from the financial crisis of 2008 was quite severe and the effects were felt in every corner of the globe. Even China, which still has a strong export market for consumer and electrical goods, suffered a 'growth recession' because of the domino effect on international trading and nations' restricted finances.
Guernsey has had an established financial and legal presence for over 40 years and whilst the recession did stunt growth somewhat, it is beginning to resurrect. The legal profession has been the least affected. Guernsey is now considered as one of the most modern in terms of its legislation and regulation, which has made it an attractive proposal for new businesses. Due to these legislations, regulations and new businesses such as boutique fund administrators; the legal field is continuing to develop and there has been an influx of newly qualified professionals from commonwealth nations that are establishing themselves in the legal and financial fields. Whilst the banking sector has stagnated on a global scale, Guernsey's appears to be making a resurgence, much more so than other countries in the European region.
