ON THIS PAGE
Legal 500 praises Ogier's Hong Kong team as "absolute leaders in the space" in its Asia Pacific 2025 guide.
Described by client feedback as a "really strong team in Hong Kong with several market leading partners who link up very well with their other offices in the Caribbean to provide timely and quality advice", Ogier in Hong Kong provides a broad transactional offering specialising in BVI and Cayman law advice to M&A, capital markets, and private equity with a reputation for "strength in depth, responsive, commercial, a well-oiled machine".
Noting its expanding Dispute Resolution practice, which gained new partner Joanne Collett in 2024, Legal 500 feedback rates the team as "one of, if not the most experienced, senior teams" of disputes practitioners in Hong Kong. "Absolute leaders in the space and working on most of the major cases," one client notes. Ogier's "budding private wealth practice" is also recognised.
Practice partner Nicholas Plowman said: "We're extremely proud of our team. Independent recognition of our team's achievements based on market research by Legal 500 and client feedback highlights Ogier's unwavering commitment to providing exceptional legal services across a wide range of sectors."
Among the team's key players, David Nelson is recognised as a Leading Partner for his vast knowledge of debt financing transactions and margin lending.
