Ogier has been named Offshore Law Firm of the Year at the Chambers High Net Worth Awards in London just weeks after winning in the same category at the Chambers Europe Awards.
The Chambers High Net Worth Awards recognise global firms who have demonstrated outstanding legal expertise, excellent client service and impressive strategic growth and innovation within the trusts and private wealth sector over the past year.
This recognition by the legal directory's highly regarded research team of over 250 analysts comes in the month that the Chambers High Net Worth Guide 2025 is set to be published. In the 2024 edition, Ogier maintained its tier one ranking across Cayman, Guernsey and Jersey and was described as "the preeminent offshore law firm" with "a first-class team".
This award now cements Ogier's status as the firm of choice for both contentious and non-contentious private client work. Global Senior Partner Rachael Reynolds KC and partners Chris Hards and Richard Laignel attended the ceremony at the Tower of London to collect the accolade.
Global head of Private Wealth Matt Guthrie said: "It’s an honour and a delight for Ogier to win this highly coveted award – especially because it comes so soon after our Chambers Europe recognition. We continue to lead the way in our markets, and it’s thanks to the client centric thinking of each and every individual in our teams. The accolade is a well-deserved acknowledgement of that hard work and dedication."
This follows other recent awards wins for Ogier, including Best Offshore Law Firm at the WealthBriefing European Awards 2025.
