Ogier's London-based experts recognised in Legal 500 2025

Ogier's London-based experts - who recently moved to new London premises at St Helen's Place, Bishopsgate, to provide greater flexibility and service to clients - have been recognised in Legal 500 2025.

Ogier's London hub has a growing team of more than 70 lawyers, corporate and fiduciary, and business services experts, representing the firm's key jurisdictions: the British Virgin Islands, Cayman Islands, Guernsey, Ireland and Jersey. 

With transactional legal services offered from London covering banking and finance, corporate, and investment funds advice, sitting alongside a heavyweight Dispute Resolution team specialising in shareholder disputes, insolvency, restructuring, and fraud and asset tracing, Legal 500 says Ogier's "disputes practice, in particular, is recognised for its contentious restructuring offering, regularly working on multi-billion dollar, multijurisdictional liquidations".

Noting the "astute" Jeremy Snead as practice partner, the legal commentator recognises Ogier's steady growth in London in recent years and notes the firm's experience in complex restructuring and insolvency matters.

Jeremy said: "We provide face-to-face, time zone-specific legal and professional services from the City. Ogier's London office is an extension of our global framework, which clients clearly appreciate as they have told Legal 500 that we have a 'very capable BVI team, with the ability to pull in resource from offices in the BVI, London, Hong Kong and Jersey when needed'."

The guide further quotes clients who say: "The litigation team is very well-managed - they are always able appropriately to resource large-scale litigation, drawing on their team worldwide where necessary, even when matters arise urgently."
