"I
am proud to see that our commitment to developing local talent
continues to bear fruit.

"This
cohort of rising stars has made a mark on the firm as we continue to
grow our team in response to client demand.

"It
is particularly rewarding to see a graduate of our articled clerk
programme included in the list of promotions, and to see our people
from all levels and disciplines within Ogier being recognised for
their hard work and taking on increased responsibilities."

The
promoted members of the Ogier team is as follows:

administration business. As one of Ogier Global's six-strong team of
directors, Ben specialises in directorship services. An experienced

managers and their onshore counsel in a wide range of jurisdictions,
Ben is also Counsel within Ogier's investment funds team.

Cayman Islands as a former elected member of the Legislative
Assembly, Cline is still involved in the local community through
Ogier's charity commitments.
