Share On Facebook >OGIER has been named “Best Offshore Law Firm, 2009” at the HFM Week Service Provider Awards held in London.
The HFM Week Awards recognise companies that have outperformed their peer group over the course of 2008/2009. The awards were judged both quantitatively and qualitatively, producing a shortlist of candidates that have demonstrated financial progress, growth and genuine innovation.
“The judges were particularly impressed by Ogier’s global offering that serviced hedge funds around the clock. The firm’s continued growth in 2008 emphasised its commitment to the needs of the hedge fund industry.”
Partner and head of Ogier BVI's Investment Funds practice Simon Schilder, said: “I am delighted that we have been recognised again by industry peers for excelling in the investment funds arena, once again demonstrating that we are a market leader in this area across the globe. One of Ogier’s strong assets is the strength of our investment funds teams in each of our four jurisdictions and this was clearly a differentiating factor for the judges when selecting the recipient of the award.”
HFM Week is a weekly investment funds news magazine, widely respected in North American and European markets.
