Talent at Ogier

Ogier is a growing firm that is constantly looking for new talent to join our international family and be part of our future.

We are committed to training and developing the skills of our people – not just in terms of qualifications and formal learning, but also to create a team of energetic, inquiring and dynamic minds. We’re proud of the investment we make in new talent and training, and also of the open, friendly, team-based culture that we have built.

Here, three of our team give an insight into their experience of our commitment to training and creating an environment in which everyone is encouraged and supported to reach their full potential:

Sophie Reguengo, counsel

My role at Ogier, as Counsel in the Investment Funds team in Jersey, is to provide senior legal support to service our existing and growing client base. We have a fantastic team with lawyers at all levels, so on any one day I can be working with six or seven associates or trainee lawyers.

I've worked at other law firms, including a spell in Hong Kong, but Ogier first came to my mind when I saw the calibre of the people joining the firm.

The focus is on recruiting the best talent, by being the best place to work and as a new starter, it's very clear that the firm has committed to creating a collaborative and supportive work environment with a senior management team keen to hear everyone's voice. I feel very valued as an Ogier employee and I'm looking forward to many happy years here.

Tiffany Tolliss, associate

After completing my law degree and LPC in Birmingham, I undertook my training contract and qualified as an English law solicitor specialising in corporate law. I joined Ogier in April 2017 as an Associate in the corporate team.

After practising for a year in England, an opportunity arose for me to relocate to Jersey with my partner, Scott, who is also a qualified lawyer. I love the outdoors and have a penchant for adventure, so it was an easy decision for us both.

What attracted me to Ogier was its market leading reputation and its progressive and dynamic approach to operating as a law firm. The firm also has a real focus on corporate social responsibility, and offers staff two days each year to commit to a charitable cause. This year, we volunteered at the Jersey Animals' Shelter (JSPCA).

I felt at home as soon as I joined Ogier. My role provides me with exposure to a diverse range of complex transactions. I am afforded a high level of responsibility, while also having the support of a large and experienced team behind me.
