Rising stars in our Jersey office

Meet the next generation of talent in our Jersey office

Ogier is a growing firm that is constantly looking for new talent to join our international family and be part of our future. We are one of the few offshore firms to operate a full City-style training scheme for qualification as an English Solicitor– but besides qualifications and formal learning, we are also committed to creating a team of energetic, inquiring and dynamic minds. As a firm, we're proud of the investment we make in new talent and training, and also of the open, friendly, team-based culture that we have built. Here, two of our team give an insight into their experience of life at Ogier and our working culture:

Kevin Grove, Associate

I joined Ogier from South Africa in March 2017. I had spent five years at a big corporate firm working on international mergers and acquisitions and decided it was time for a change. An important criteria in identifying my future employer was that it promoted a work life balance. In Ogier I've found exactly that. The quality of the work is excellent, the people who make up the teams here are great to work with and the innovation taking place as part of the firm's plans for the future is really fun to be a part of. In my short time here I've already been lucky enough to be a part of big international transactions involving household names. It's not all hard work though, Ogier promotes balance and flexible working, both of which are very much part of the culture here. Whether it's taking the time to enjoy the outdoor lifestyle that the island promotes, practising your hobbies, travelling or simply spending time with friends and family, Ogier are all for it. It doesn’t take long to really feel part of the family here and I'm very much looking forward to furthering my career with Ogier.

Natasha Aurakzai, Trainee Solicitor

After completing a Masters in Law from Kings College London and having worked as a paralegal at Ogier, I returned to the firm to begin my English training contract. Ogier offers a fantastic range of seats in various corporate areas. I am currently working alongside lawyers who are leaders in their fields, and as no two days are the same my work is both interesting and challenging. The combination of City work and island living means that while I am fortunate enough to work on a wide variety of corporate transactions - there are plenty of opportunities to get involved in social and sporting activities too. During my time with the firm I have taken part in both the annual island walk and the corporate hockey league. I look forward to qualifying in 2019 having trained at a firm which takes innovation into its stride.
