Ogier in Dubai recommended by clients in Chambers Global just one year after launch

Just one year after opening its doors in Dubai, Ogier has been recommended by in-house counsel, other third-party experts and private practice lawyers to feature in the new edition of Chambers Global 2025.

And Ogier's practice partner in Dubai, BVI and Cayman Dispute Resolution legal expert David Welford, has been personally ranked, with clients saying "David is an exceptional lawyer and litigator. He is easily accessible and has an eye for the strategy of the proceedings."
 
Independent legal commentator Chambers rates him as an experienced disputes partner who regularly advises lenders, accountancy firms and major commercial entities on shareholder and liquidation-related cases.
 
"His commercial awareness and client management is second to none," says another client. And, "He's fantastic. He's one of those guys who has carved out a very impressive practice in high-value complex litigation and he really understands where counsel is coming from."
 
Ogier opened its Dubai office in November 2023. "Its compact team in the Middle East has a strong focus on dispute resolution and restructuring proceedings, with particular experience representing clients in arbitration and before the courts of the British Virgin Islands," says Chambers.
 
"It is able to take on an array of matters, spanning white-collar fraud claims, contentious insolvency, partnership and shareholder disputes as well as cases arising from professional negligence accusations. The firm also offers transactional and investment counsel, leveraging its well-established teams in other global financial centres."
