Ogier wins Best Offshore Law firm for third straight year at HFM Asia Services Awards 2024

International professional services firm Ogier has been named Best Offshore Law Firm at the HFM Asia Services Awards for the third consecutive year.

Regarded as one of the most prestigious awards in the Asian funds industry, the HFM awards recognise hedge fund service providers who have demonstrated exceptional client service, innovative product development, and strong and sustainable business growth over the past 12 months. The rigorous judging process is based on the views of a panel of leading hedge fund COOs, CFOs, CCOs, GCs, and CTOs. From Ogier's Investment Funds team, partner Lin Han was joined by David Lin and Alan Wong to collect the award.  

This latest award win further solidifies Ogier's position as one of the leading offshore hedge fund legal advisers in the region, according to Nicholas Plowman, Hong Kong practice partner and head of Investment Funds in Asia.

Nicholas said: "Ogier has been servicing the Asia-Pacific investment funds market for almost 20 years and it's fantastic to see our expertise, service delivery and commitment to clients - which underpins our work - consistently recognised by awards such as these. Congratulations to our Investment Funds team, and to our experts from across the firm, who support our funds lawyers with delivering end-to-end solutions to our clients."

Ogier's Investment Funds team in Hong Kong is one of the largest offshore funds teams in Asia and advises some of the region's most high-profile investment managers. The team is widely recognised for providing clients and intermediaries with practical and technically excellent legal advice as well as a user friendly and responsive service.

Five of Ogier's Hong Kong-based experts, including funds specialists Nicholas Plowman and Kate Hodson, have been named in Asia Business Law Journal's A List of the top 50 offshore lawyers in 2024, and four partners were named in Asian Legal Business’s Offshore Client Choice 2024 list. Ogier was also named Offshore Law Firm of the Year at the Asian Legal Business Hong Kong Law Awards 2023. Kate Hodson was named Investment Funds Lawyer of the Year at Women in Business Law Awards 2023 APAC.
