James Campbell, described as a “top-notch lawyer with an excellent grasp of cross-border issues”, has joined in the firm in Jersey while Gavin Ferguson, has been appointed in Guernsey.
Ogier’s Global Managing Partner, Edward Mackereth, said: “Both come to us with outstanding reputations in their fields.”
“Private client work is central to Ogier’s practice and by recruiting some of the most respected names in the offshore private client world we are ensuring we maintain our leading reputation in that area.”
Mr Campbell advises on the establishment, ongoing operation and restructuring of both private and commercial trusts and has a particular focus on the establishment and use of private trust companies.
A Guernsey and BVI law specialist, Mr Ferguson provides contentious and non-contentious fiduciary services to high net worth individuals, corporate clients and charities. He advises on all aspects of trust and foundation law and also advises on regulatory matters, general private client matters and has an interest in sharia compliant structures.
