Mourant Ozannes retains top tier rankings

Monday 28 September 2015

Leading offshore law firm, Mourant Ozannes, has retained its top tier rankings across all Channel Islands practice areas in the latest Legal 500 rankings.

Mourant Ozannes is the only offshore law firm to have achieved the top tier ranking in all Jersey practice areas and places clear blue water between themselves and competitors as the only firm in the top tier for Investment Funds.

In Guernsey, the firm has been recognised in five out of seven of the categories.

Mourant Ozannes lawyers are described as 'to the point and responsive' as well as 'fun to work with and well-liked by clients'.  Individual lawyers are described as 'superb', 'razor sharp', and 'thought leaders'. Particular note is made of the number of senior hires made by Mourant Ozannes over the past 12 months, including Tim Morgan, who has joined the Funds practice in Jersey as Partner, and leading counsel Chinyin Johnston to the London office. In Guernsey Managing Partner Jessica Roland is described as an able and clear advocate who is commended for her leadership.

Mourant Ozannes Global Managing Partner Jonathan Rigby said: "This is excellent news. To maintain our rankings shows that we consistently deliver a high quality service founded on understanding our clients and legal knowledge. I would like to congratulate our teams in all practice areas."

These latest rankings mean the firm continues to have more top tier directory rankings than any other offshore firm in its four jurisdictions - the BVI, the Cayman Islands, Guernsey and Jersey.

Clients, professional partners and instructing law firms around the world use the Legal 500 rankings to assess which firms have the requisite quality, skills and knowledge to deliver an outstanding legal service in key offshore jurisdictions. The rankings are independently assessed and based on client feedback as well as the firm's own data, which is submitted annually.
