Ogier's Cayman team has been highlighted as "an early leader in Caymans' nascent cryptocurrency space" in the latest IFLR 1000 ranking, which has also praised the firm's BVI team as "an important player".

Cayman partners James Bergstrom, Angus Davison, Bradley Kruger, Mark Santangeli and Giorgio Subiotto and consultant James Bagnall all maintain their "Highly Regarded" rating from last year's IFLR 1000 – and are joined by senior associate James Lydeard who is ranked for the first time as a "Rising Star".

The firm's BVI team was also highlighted for praise, with IFLR describing it as "an important player" alongside individual recognition for "Market Leader" partner Ray Wearmouth, "Highly Regarded" partner Michael Kilkourhy and "Rising Star" senior associate Rebecca Clarke.

IFLR have highlighted the recruitment of counsel Emma Sutherland in the Cayman team, and have noted that Ogier's corporate team in the island "handled a high number of capital markets transactions" and "has also shown itself to be an early leader in the Cayman's nascent cryptocurrency space, advising clients with regards to multiple token generation events".

Client feedback quoted in the directory also praised the firm's "classy litigation offering combining experienced partners and keen and effective associates".

Partner James Bergstrom, who leads Ogier's Cayman team, said: "It's pleasing to see that the capital markets and cryptocurrency teams have been recognised for their work after another  exceptional year that has seen new partners promoted in our Investment Funds and Banking & Finance teams, and our disputes team double in size."
