Offshore law firm Ogier, advising on the British Virgin Islands, Cayman Islands, Guernsey and Jersey law and providing fiduciary services, announced that it is opening a boutique practice in Luxembourg. By this, Ogier becomes the first offshore law firm with an onshore presence in this country.
Chief executive officer of the Ogier group Nick Kershaw said: “The new office is being driven by client demand, as many of our existing clients currently use or have expressed an interest in using Luxembourg, either standalone or as part of an offshore structure. Having a Luxembourg legal capability will therefore complement our existing suite of services.”
The Luxembourg office will be led by Francois Pfister, supported by Ogier Jersey partner Daniel Richards.
In addition to the new legal outpost, later this year Ogier plans to establish a corporate and fund administration busuiness in Luxembourg. Las
