With a specialism in restructuring and insolvency, Mr Horsbrugh-Porter has worked on one of the first provisional liquidations in Guernsey, as well as a number of contentious shareholder disputes and schemes of arrangement.
He has also recently been appointed as just one of four specialists on Guernsey’s Insolvency Rules Committee.
“This is a pivotal time for Guernsey in the global restructuring and corporate recovery field,” said Head of Dispute Resolution in Guernsey, Advocate Mathew Newman.
“Alex is a significant asset to the team, both locally with his close involvement with the Guernsey industry, and to Ogier’s cross-jurisdiction Restructuring and Corporate Recovery team as a Guernsey Advocate who also has several years’ experience in the Cayman Islands.”
Ogier’s five-partner Guernsey Dispute Resolution team, led by Advocate Newman, who was recently named Litigator of the year by Citywealth, has grown significantly in the past two years, including with the recent promotion of Advocate Sandie Lyne to Partner.
The team has worked on some of Guernsey’s largest cases including for the Carlyle Group and the case involving Providence Investment Funds PCC Limited.
