Ogier has once again been recognised as a market leader in private client services, maintaining its tier one ranking across Cayman, Guernsey and Jersey in the 2025 edition of the Chambers and Partners High Net Worth Guide.

"Complexity is never a drama for Ogier", according to clients who also describe the firm as their "go-to" choice globally for "first-rate technical expertise" and client service.

Clients praised the team for prioritising their needs, saying: "The Ogier team goes out of its way to find the answer or advice you need. It always maintains the lead, ownership and accountability for client matters to deliver a great client experience."

The Chambers and Partners High Net Worth Guide is one of the industry's most respected independent legal directories and demonstrates Ogier's position as the firm of choice for clients who require advice on sophisticated structures established for succession purposes, asset protection, tax efficiency, family governance or confidentiality, as well as relevant corporate law support and local and cross-border trust dispute resolution.

Global head of Private Wealth Matt Guthrie said: "What a fantastic achievement for the firm's Private Wealth teams. This recognition for our industry-leading Trusts Advisory Group highlights the strength of our expertise across our contentious and non-contentious offering. As we continue to grow and expand our capabilities, we never lose sight of the fact that our clients are looking for first-class legal advice and an offering that centres on their needs."
