New partner joins Jersey office

Ogier is expanding in Jersey with the recruitment of new partner Matthew Shaxson from Mourant Ozannes. Matthew joins the business and trust law team and brings with him extensive knowledge and experience of mergers & acquisitions in the financial services sector, including working with Ogier on the management buyout of its fiduciary business.

 
Matthew is an experienced insolvency and corporate practitioner. With experience gained in both the City and the Channel Islands, Matthew is also well placed to add further strength and depth to Ogier's funds offering. He brings considerable knowledge in offshore funds and is able to advise on regulatory, corporate restructuring, equity and debt fund raising.  
 
Global managing partner, Nick Kershaw, says: "I am delighted to welcome Matthew to Ogier, his appointment will further strengthen our funds, corporate and finance capabilities. The appointment of Matthew, promotion of four partners internally and our new partners in BVI and Luxembourg all reflect the strong growth that we are seeing."
 
Funds partner, Niamh Lalor, says: "It's really exciting having Matthew join us, it underlines the strength of the team and adds to the existing group of quality lawyers we have."
