Ogier—Alex Horsbrugh-Porter

 Ogier promotes restructuring and insolvency specialist to partner in Guernsey

Ogier has announced the appointment of Alex Horsbrugh-Porter to partner in its Guernsey dispute resolution team.

With a specialism in restructuring and insolvency—notably being appointed recently as just one of four specialists on Guernsey's Insolvency Rules Committee in recognition of his considerable expertise in this area of Guernsey law – Alex's achievements include working on one of the first provisional liquidations in Guernsey, and a number of contentious shareholder disputes and schemes of arrangement.

Head of dispute resolution in Guernsey, Advocate Mathew Newman, said: ‘This is a pivotal time for Guernsey in the global restructuring and corporate recovery field. Alex is a significant asset to the team, both in Guernsey and to Ogier's cross-jurisdiction Restructuring and Corporate Recovery team as a Guernsey Advocate who also has several years' experience in the Cayman Islands.’
