The sizeable dispute resolution offering at Ogier is a particularly strong choice for restructuring and insolvency, fraud and asset recovery, and s.238 shareholder appraisal disputes. A trio of lawyers share leadership responsibilities of the group: Marc Kish, the firm’s global head of dispute resolution who is well versed in international insolvency, restructuring and financial services disputes, large-scale fraud cases, and asset tracing claims; Jennifer Fox, who draws on two decades of experience, including 15 years on the ground in the Cayman Islands; and Rachael Reynolds KC, a standout in contentious trust matters. Deborah Barker Roye was promoted to the partnership in 2024 and specialises in contentious trusts and estate matters, and Christopher Levers is a further name to note in restructuring, insolvency, and general commercial litigation. Gemma Bellfield is also a young partner with a strong contentious restructuring and insolvency practice, and at managing associate level Farrah Sbaiti stands out.
