Ogier has been named “International Law Firm of the Year, 2009” at the annual Citywealth Magic Circle Awards held in London last night. The Citywealth Magic Circle Awards shine a spotlight on those individuals and organisations who have raised the bar in terms of service, innovation and client care. These coveted awards, from the publishers of Citywealth, set the benchmark for excellence in the wealth sector.

A list of shortlisted firms was drawn up from industry nominations.  Submissions from those firms were then scrutinised by a judging panel of industry experts to decide the winners.

Ogier Head of Private Client and Trusts, Steve Meiklejohn, said: “I am delighted that we have been recognised again by industry peers for excelling in the private client arena, demonstrating that we still thrive on providing a quality service to each of our clients. The launch of Ogier Private Wealth and our expansion into new regions will have also been contributing factors to our latest award success. Congratulations are due to all staff for their hard work and professionalism which continues to keep Ogier as a leading player in the wealth industry.”
