The honour celebrates Ogier’s strategic growth into the Middle East after opening its new office in Dubai at the end of 2023, providing a full service to clients. The firm offers offshore legal advice, corporate services and regulatory consulting from its location in the Dubai International Finance Centre (DIFC).

Through our affiliated corporate services offering, Ogier Global, we are also able to assist clients in the region with corporate establishment and outsourced compliance services in the DIFC and Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM) financial free-zones.

The Citywealth IFC Awards recognise excellence in the private wealth sector across international financial centres. They continue to set a benchmark for outstanding performance, innovation and client service. Ogier's success cements the firm's position as an all-round leader in the sector and underscores their commitment to strategic growth.

Ogier's Dubai practice partner David Welford said: "We are delighted to have been named UAE Law Firm of the Year.

"Accessibility for clients and intermediaries to our specialist teams in their time zone is central to our global offering and over the past year we have made a real impact on the Middle East market, and we are pleased to have been recognised for that.

"We look forward to continuing to work with our clients and intermediaries in the region that practise UAE law."

Ogier partner Richard Bennett attended the awards ceremony in London to collect the accolade.
