STEP Jersey chair joins the team at Ogier 

Offshore firm Ogier has bolstered its private wealth team in Jersey with the appointment of Henry Wickham, the chair of the Jersey branch of The Society of Trust and Estate Practitioners (STEP).

Henry comes on board after more than eight years with Bedell Cristin, where he was a senior associate. In his role as counsel with Ogier, he will advise professional trustees, intermediaries, family offices and high net worth families in the Channel Islands and internationally on Jersey trusts, foundations and estate planning, and related corporate law issues.

Ogier’s global head of private wealth, James Campbell, said: ‘Henry brings unrivalled expertise and experience to the team, and is recognised by industry as a leading figure. As our private wealth offering continues to expand, Henry will play a key part in providing the exceptional quality of service our team is renowned for.’
