Ogier named Best Offshore Law Firm for second year running by HFM Asian Services Awards 2023

Ogier has been named Best Offshore Law Firm for the second consecutive year by the HFM Asian Services Awards 2023.

It’s another major industry award win for Ogier's Hong Kong office, which was last week named best offshore law firm at the ALB Hong Kong Law Awards 2023.

The HFM awards recognise and celebrate excellence in hedge fund services and are one of the most prestigious awards in the Asian funds industry.

Hong Kong practice partner and head of Ogier's investment funds practice in Asia, Nicholas Plowman, investment funds partner Kate Hodson and members of the wider Hong Kong funds team all represented the firm at the Renaissance Harbour View in Hong Kong to receive the award.

“It is fantastic to see our leading funds practice recognised by HFM for its innovation, exceptional client service and sustained growth,” said Nicholas.

“Our funds services are the cornerstone of our offering in Asia, and our legal teams work collaboratively alongside our corporate services and fiduciary specialists at Ogier Global to provide clients with the full spectrum of funds expertise and services."

Ogier's position as one of the leading hedge fund advisers was confirmed by independent research from Preqin. In Preqin's Service Providers in Alternative Assets report, published in 2023, Ogier ranks as one of the top three offshore law firms across most categories.

Recent accolades for Ogier's Hong Kong funds team include the inclusion of Nicholas Plowman and funds partner Lin Han in the ALB Offshore Client Choice List 2023. In addition, Kate Hodson was recognised as Investment Funds Lawyer of the Year by the Women in Business Law Awards 2023 APAC.
