Ogier's
Global Head of Dispute Resolution and Contentious Trusts Rachael
Reynolds was named Offshore Litigator of the Year at last night's
Citywealth International Finance Centre awards. Ogier also took home
Law Firm of the Year awards in Jersey and Hong Kong & Singapore.

Now
in their ninth year, the Citywealth International Financial
Centre Awards were established to highlight the excellence of the
advisers and managers in the private wealth sector in the major
international financial centres.

Rachael's
entry focussed on her track record leading on some of the largest and
most high-profile cases in the Cayman Islands, including advising
investors in the Abraaj Group collapse, one of the largest private
equity structures in the Middle East, and leading the Cayman legal
team for the Joint Provisional Liquidators on the record $4bn Ocean
Rig matter.

Rachael
has overseen very strong recruitment in Ogier's Cayman Dispute
Resolution team, which has doubled in size amid a series of major
instructions, with 85% of the new recruits being women. 

Alongside
hiring, promoting and mentoring a record number of women in her team,
Rachael regularly speaks at events representing women in industry,
including the International Women's Insolvency and Restructuring
Confederation (IWIRC) and is a member of 100 Women in Finance, 100
Women in Hedge Funds and Ladies in Trusts. Rachael also continues to
co-chair the Contra Trusts in Litigation conference, aimed at
developing the brightest talent in the industry, and heads up the
strategic development of Ogier's Dispute Resolution service line.

She
regularly advises on contentious trust matters and her work was
highlighted with the continued top-tier ranking for Ogier's Cayman
Trusts Advisory Group in the latest Legal 500 guide.

Global
Managing Partner Edward Mackereth said: "Rachael's
contribution to Ogier is absolutely exceptional, working on some of
the highest profile matters while also paving a way forward for all
her team – an approach that fully aligns with Ogier's vision.
She
also provides great strategic direction and development for the whole
service line internationally.

"Clients
want her on their side, she has the backing of a fantastic team and
she demonstrates what we are all about as a firm. There is no one
better."

Rachael
added: "The
Ogier Dispute Resolution team across the world is truly the best I
have ever worked with. They are all talented and highly experienced
people who have each contributed to the success of the service line."
