Ogier named offshore law firm of the year by The Lawyer
Ogier
has been named Offshore Law Firm of the Year by The Lawyer - the
firm's third major industry award in just three months.
The
award is the third time that Ogier has been named the Best Offshore
Law Firm in 2019, having won the offshore categories at the
WealthBriefing European Awards in April, and the Legal Business
Awards in March.
Ogier
triumphed ahead of seven other shortlisted firms, having impressed
the independent panel of expert judges with a submission built around
success in major M&A deals, lateral hires, promotions to
partnership and innovation agenda.
A
team including Cayman Islands partner Marc Kish was at the ceremony
at the Grosvenor House Hotel in London last night to collect the
award, along with managing associate Marie-Claire Fudge and senior
associate Laura Malpass from the firm's BVI law team.
Ogier's
Global Managing Partner Edward Mackereth said: "We've had
another 12 remarkable months across all of our jurisdictions in Asia,
the Caribbean and Europe and this third award reflects a lot of hard
work by some very talented lawyers and business services
professionals.
"We're
particularly pleased to have been recognised in this way for a
submission that focused on our success against three strategic
priorities, working on the biggest, most complex deals; targeted
lateral hires; and innovation in providing market-leading levels of
client service."
Since
the start of the year, Ogier has announced the arrival of three new
partners (one through promotion, and two through lateral hires)
amongst 39 legal hires across the group, and has advised on the
largest UK real estate transaction on record, the first light-touch
restructuring undertaken in the BVI, the landmark sale of Cayman
National Corporation Ltd, and the largest two transactions conducted
by way of a court-sanctioned Jersey Scheme of Arrangement.
