Channel Island And Cayman Law Firms To Merge
It was announced this week that Channel Island law firm, Ogier, and Cayman Islands
law firm, Boxalls, are to merge, in what represents the first transatlantic merger
of its kind. Following the move, Ogier will become one of the world's largest offshore legal
service providers, with more than 370 lawyers and staff worldwide. Combined,
the two firms will offer in-depth coverage of key legal services in Jersey,
Guernsey, the Cayman Islands, and London. According to a statement, Boxalls will be known as Ogier & Boxalls, whilst
the Jersey and Guernsey-based Ogier operations will continue under the name
of Ogier & Le Masurier. Administration services will be provided across
all four jurisdictions under the name of Ogier Fiduciary Services from February
of next year. Speaking following the announcement of the merger, Ogier chairman Jonathon
White observed that: "There is strong and growing demand for the provision of offshore services
by top tier organisations in well-regulated jurisdictions. Together with Boxalls,
we will offer extremely high services from the world's three key offshore centres." .
