Nicholas Brookes promoted to partner

Nicholas Brookes has been promoted to partner in Ogier's BVI Dispute Resolution team.

Chambers Global 2020 calls Nick 'outstanding'. A barrister with many years’ experience in dispute resolution and litigation, Nick joined Ogier in the BVI in 2014 and since then has worked on a large and varied range of high profile and high value litigation cases.  Nick acted, from first instance through to the Privy Council, for the successful claimant in Zorin Khan v Gany Holdings (PTC), which established the proper approach of the Court to determining whether assets are those of the trust or the trustee.

He is currently the First Vice President of the BVI Bar Association, established a bench and bar advocacy program with a former Commercial Court judge, and has recently been responsible for the BVI committee producing recommendations for the Eastern Caribbean Civil Procedure Rules. He has also assisted with the Bar Association's pro bono advice clinic.

Ogier's head of Dispute Resolution in the BVI, Brian Lacy, said: "Having worked on such high profile cases it has been great to see Nick develop into a real expert in his field with a reputation to match. His promotion further enhances Ogier's exceptional BVI Dispute Resolution team."
