Ogier wins recognition for ESG consulting services at Magic Circle Awards 2022

Ogier has won bronze in the ESG Consultant of Year category at the Citywealth Magic Circle Awards 2022, as well as bronze for International Law Firm of the Year.

The awards, which recognise achievements in the wealth management industry, are judged by a panel of leading private wealth advisors, with online voting accounting for 10 percent of the total votes.

Ogier's sustainable investment and ESG services offers dedicated ESG legal expertise. Its approach to client services also aligns with major steps Ogier has taken in developing its own approach to sustainability.

"It's clear that private wealth and private investors can play a crucial role in responding to pressing ESG challenges. High net-worth wealth, and especially family wealth, is ideally suited to the kind of long-term strategy that ESG investment requires, but seeking specialist support and legal advice is crucial," said partner Matt Guthrie, Ogier's global head of Private Wealth.

"As a law firm, we have developed our legal services to ensure we are able to provide tailored advice within the context of sustainable investing. It's fantastic to have this approach recognised by Citywealth with this award, and also to be recognised as a leading international law firm of year."

Ogier's team of lawyers work across service-lines and jurisdictions and are equipped to advise on legal and regulatory matters related to sustainable investing. They also work closely with Ogier's corporate administration business, Ogier Global, which works with the largest alternative asset managers, wealth managers, and institutional investors to administer sustainability investment strategies across public and private markets.

Winners of the Citywealth Magic Circle Awards 2022 were announced at a gala reception in London on Tuesday 17 May.
