There has also been a series of promotions among the firm's business services teams: Chris Baudains has become senior technical analyst, Tony Benec'h, finance operations team supervisor, Kylie Buckingham, head of knowledge management, Jemma Carter, senior CDD administrator, Sarah Edmondson project manager and Kathy Golding, business development manager. Jason Maindonald has been promoted to senior technical analyst, Adrian Renouf to senior manager, infrastructure and Zoe Rowan  to senior risk administrator.

In Guernsey, Richard Gordon has been promoted to technical support team manager.

Raulin Amy, the practice partner of Ogier's Jersey office, said: "Our recruitment activity stepped up dramatically in 2017 and has not relented, with three new arrivals already this year – but our strategy of developing talent from within the firm is equally important to us, and we are pleased to mark the hard work and dedication of so many of our team today. Peter, Christian, Matthew and Kevin are important members of our team who have each built reputations for excellence in technical advice and in client service.

"It is also pleasing to see promotions right across our business services teams – the strategic growth of the firm's legal service lines is underpinned by our investment in the teams that support them, and it is pleasing to see their hard work recognised and rewarded."
