Seven jobs are going in total, but Carey Olsen has redeployed five staff and is trying to assist the other two to find new positions.
Carey Olsen is farming out its legal aid matrimonial work to fellow practice Viberts.
Earlier this year another law firm Ogier did exactly the same and moved matrimonial legal aid work to Viberts.
Both firms want to concentrate on their high earning corporate and commercial work.
However, the Carey Olsen decision has prompted Jersey Consumer Council chairman Deputy Alan Breckon and retiring St John Deputy Phil Rondel to express concern that the choice of lawyers available to clients under the legal aid system will be limited.
