Ogier awarded Platinum STEP Employer accreditation for commitment to development and career progression

Ogier has once again been named a Platinum Employer Partner of the Society of Trusts and Estates Practitioners (STEP), recognising the firm's continued investment in its people.

STEP employer accreditation is awarded every three years following a rigorous review process. It highlights businesses who have shown commitment to the career development of its people within the trusts and estates field.

By achieving Platinum accreditation, Ogier has demonstrated that ongoing professional development is a key part of the culture, employees take control of their own learning and senior leaders inspire their fellow practitioners to progress. The business has also maintained a strong STEP presence globally, after being recognised as STEP Contentious Trust and Estates Team of the Year in the large firm category.

Ogier's Head of Talent and Development, Hazel Cardwell, said: "The continued development of our people is fundamental to Ogier's success, and this strong learning culture is championed from the very top of the organisation. Our approach goes beyond traditional training methods, and we practice an 'always learning' mindset and constructive feedback that ensures each individual receives meaningful career support throughout their journey with us.

"Our people have access to a broad range of development platforms and experiences, including digital learning resources, bespoke development programmes, external qualifications and courses, developmental assignments and a supportive coaching and mentoring culture. The business's genuine commitment to flexible working, diversity and inclusion and employee wellbeing ensures that career and development opportunities are accessible to all."

Global head of Private Wealth, Matt Guthrie, said: "STEP sets the standards of excellence in the private wealth sector and remains committed to members' continuous development. These principles are closely aligned with Ogier's own values, so we are delighted to be recognised by STEP and look forward to maintaining our strong relationship with the society."
