The company got the top spot for:

• hedge fund expertise

• fund formation and tax law expertise

Ogier partner Simon Schilder said: “We are thrilled to see Ogier ranked number one in all of the top five areas most important to our clients, which clearly recognises the strength in depth of our global investment funds practice and reflects our commitment to excellent client service and to the point advice.
