Ogier in the BVI has achieved top tier rankings for Corporate and Finance including Investment Funds, and Dispute Resolution in the latest Chambers Global Guide 2022.

The Dispute Resolution team, led by partner Brian Lacy, is described as "exemplary in their international offering." Brian, who is noted for his foreign expertise based abroad in the UK, retains his ranking and is described as "brilliant and terrific", attracting the "trust and respect of his clients." Also ranked are Nicholas Burkill, who is noted for his wealth of experience, and "strategic thinker" Grant Carroll, who is described as a "go-to person for complex and challenging work." Ranked as Up and Coming is Nicholas Brookes, described by clients as "one of the standout litigation lawyers in the BVI."

The Corporate and Finance teams, including Investment Funds stand out for their responsiveness, according to the guide. Highly ranked lawyer Michael Killourhy is "regularly engaged on market-leading capital markets and M&A matters" and a "great lawyer," and BVI practice partner Ray Wearmouth, who is top tier ranked, is noted for his "high degree of experience advising on loan facilities and major debt restructurings."
