Ogier—Martin Livingston

Regulatory specialist Martin Livingston has joined Ogier as a consultant to further meet the growing demand for Cayman Islands regulatory expertise and reinforce the deep regulatory advisory bench.

With more than 30 years of experience in risk management and regulatory compliance, Martin will be providing clients with Cayman regulatory advice, with a focus on assisting the firm’s Asian and Middle Eastern client base.

Martin’s clients include major global investment banks, funds, managers, advisers and family offices, and he advises on matters including anti-money laundering and anti-terrorist financing, sanctions, data protection, regulatory and tax reporting, virtual assets and M&A projects.

During his career, Martin has forged strong relationships with key regulatory bodies such as Cayman Islands Monetary Authority (CIMA), the Cayman Department of International Tax Cooperation, and the Cayman Financial Reporting Authority. He has chaired, and been a member of, various Cayman legislative sub-committees, helping to formulate several important financial service laws, regulations and guidance. He was also President of the Cayman Islands Compliance Association for more than a decade.

His appointment follows the addition of Technology and Web3 expert Alastair Lagrange to Ogier's Cayman Regulatory team earlier this year.

Ogier’s Global Head of Investment Funds, Joanne Huckle, said: "We are excited for Martin to join our team, growing our coverage in the Asia time zone and building our regulatory offering."
