Firm Description

Jersey, the largest of the Channel Islands, is one of the world's major international finance centres. The successful combination of stability and reliability has kept Jersey at the forefront of global finance for almost half a century. Government determination to encourage high quality business to the Island, and the support offered by the sophisticated and comprehensive infrastructure of laws and regulations, combine to promote investor confidence.

Jersey's status as a Crown Dependency gives the Island constitutional rights of self-government and judicial independence. This offers both businesses and investors the benefits of an independent international finance centre which is close to the United Kingdom and mainland Europe.

Ogier is one of the leading legal and fiduciary services firms and is recognised by the two leading legal directories, Chambers and Legal 500. In Chambers, the firm has more lawyers recommended than any other Jersey firm and in Legal 500, the firm has more lawyers recommended and more tier 1 rankings for individual practice areas than any other Jersey firm.

 In the 2009 edition of the Legal 500 our Jersey office is rated top tier for all practice areas, and is the only Jersey law firm with first tier rankings in all eight categories.
