Ogier’s Private Wealth team has achieved outstanding success at the Citywealth Future Leaders Awards 2025, taking home three Gold awards including one of the evening’s top accolades – the Best Employer: Career Progression award. 

The results mark a clean sweep for Ogier, recognising both the firm’s culture of professional growth and the exceptional achievements of its rising stars. 

Associate Tehya Morgan from Ogier’s Guernsey Private Wealth team won Gold in the IFC Lawyer of the Year – Associate category. Tehya joined Ogier in 2018 as a paralegal and has progressed through the firm’s trainee solicitor programme to her current role as an associate.

Grace Gao, recently promoted to Counsel in Ogier’s Hong Kong Private Wealth team, won Gold in the IFC Lawyer of the Year – Managing Associate category. Grace advises high net worth families on international estate and asset protection planning and is recognised for her expertise in cross-border succession and family governance matters. 

Judges’ comment: “Grace was praised for her thoughtful, solutions-driven approach and her ability to coordinate complex workstreams. The panel felt she exemplifies the modern cross-border private client lawyer.” 

Ogier was also named Best Employer: Career Progression, an award that celebrates organisations championing the next generation of leaders within the wealth management industry. The recognition highlights Ogier’s commitment to creating pathways for advancement and the firm’s dedication to developing exceptional lawyers across its global offices.
