Best on the island: Ogier's Jersey property team in a league of its own for record sixth year

Ogier's Jersey property team – known as 'the best on the island' - has been ranked by independent market commentator Chambers as being in a league of its own for a record sixth year.

Head of Local Legal Services Jonathan Hughes said: "That Chambers still considers Ogier to be the only team of offshore property, planning and construction lawyers and conveyancers to merit a top-tier rating after six years really is an achievement to be proud of. We are particularly pleased to see that Chambers recognises our 'notable expertise' in planning, leasing and property investment in addition to our market-leading advice on commercial and residential development, financing and transactional work."

Chambers notes that clients say: "They are easy to deal with, responsive and efficient" while others add: "They are the best on the island."

Senior statesman Chris Renouf "utilises his vast experience" to advise clients on a variety of real estate matters. Jonathan Hughes, a top tier partner, "is very pragmatic, very responsive." Newly promoted partner and star associate Katharine Marshall is "responsive and proactive on a large transaction". Associate to watch Sarah Parish is "developing an accomplished practice" and wins praise for her advocacy and assistance on contentious matters.

Ogier's full service Property, Planning and Construction law team acts for buyers, sellers, developers and financiers, providing advice on the purchase, sale or lease of commercial and residential properties located on the island. The Commercial Property team is well known for executing some of the largest and most complex commercial property transactions with accuracy and speed, providing a responsive, constructive and commercially aware client service for large and small businesses. The team works for local landlords, tenants, developers and financiers as well as institutional investors of international repute.
