Fresh thinking, sharper opinion.
We get straight to the point, managing complexity to get to the essentials. Our global network of offices covers every time zone.
The point of change is here. Climate crisis, biodiversity loss, societal shifts, evolving regulation and growing investor demand have pushed sustainable investment into the mainstream.
Ogier's specialist legal, consultancy and regulatory services help clients implement and deliver on sustainable investing mandates.
With dedicated teams of lawyers, consultants and corporate professionals, we work with clients from across industries to navigate the new regulations, standards and frameworks evolving in the sustainability landscape – and to seize the opportunities.
Our work includes launching sustainable investment (SI) funds, structuring green bonds or sustainability linked loans, advising private equity clients and incorporating impact objectives into private wealth structures. We also provide bespoke portfolio design, integration, risk management and reporting solutions to alternative asset managers, private wealth clients and institutional investors.
We have experts located across time zones with many years of SI experience including environmental, social and governance (ESG), impact investing and sustainable finance. We invest in our talent to ensure we approach this complex, fast-evolving space with deep understanding and technical expertise.
We know that clients committed to sustainability and the net zero transition want to be sure that the partnerships they form with their service providers are not in themselves a sustainability risk, which is why Ogier's commitment and approach to sustainability is also expert led.
At Ogier, we recognise that there is no one-size fits all approach to SI which is why we provide tailored advice aligned with the needs of our clients.
