Ogier has been named “Best Offshore Law Firm, 2009” at the HFM Week Service Provider Awards held in London.

The HFM Week Awards recognise companies that have outperformed their peer group over the course of 2008/2009. The awards were judged both quantitatively and qualitatively, producing a shortlist of candidates that have demonstrated financial progress, growth and genuine innovation.

Ogier partner and co-head of Ogier’s Investment Funds practice Peter Cockhill, said: “I am delighted that we have been recognised again by industry peers for excelling in the investment funds arena, once again demonstrating that we are a market leader in this area across the globe.  One of Ogier’s strong assets is the strength of our investment funds teams in each of our four jurisdictions and this was clearly a differentiating factor for the judges when selecting the recipient of the award.”

Simon Dinning collected the award on behalf of the group at the awards ceremony held at the Hurlingham Club in London.

HFM Week is a weekly investment funds news magazine, widely respected in North American and European markets.
