Ogier Guernsey and Jersey advise on Coller and Lloyds Banking Group JV

The culmination of several months’ work by legal teams at both Ogier’s Guernsey and Jersey offices has helped the Coller International Partners V Fund enter into a joint venture with the Lloyds Banking Group. The transaction involves the acquisition of the risk capital in a portfolio of 42 companies which previously formed the Bank of Scotland Integrated Finance portfolio. Ogier has acted as legal adviser in Guernsey and Jersey for the Coller International Partners V Fund, which is a closed-ended, Guernsey investment fund, established in 2007.

The Coller International Partners V Fund has capital commitments in excess of $4.8 billion and participation from 200 of the world’s leading institutional investors.

The Ogier Guernsey team was led by partner Roger Le Tissier, who was assisted by managing associate Andy Lowe, senior associate Ann Halliday and associate Charisma Lyall.

The Ogier Jersey team was led by partner Michael Lombardi who was assisted by associate Richard Daggett.
