After 21 years as a Partner, of which over 15 have been involved in managing and developing the business, Jonathan White has decided to stand down as a Partner of Ogier. Whilst he remains deeply committed to Ogier, Jonathan believes that the time is right for him to step aside and to develop other interests. 

He will retire as a Partner with effect from 31 July 2009 but will be retained as a consultant by Ogier working on both client matters and special projects. This will be a substantial commitment and is one that pleases Jonathan given his long-term and special association with Ogier. Clive Chaplin, the new Ogier Group Chairman, said that "We are delighted to be able to continue to draw on his expertise in a meaningful way which will be to our mutual benefit."
