Ogier

Families and family offices operating across multiple jurisdictions face a recurring structural problem: finding a single advisor with both legal depth and fiduciary execution capability across the offshore centres that matter most. Ogier addresses this directly as an international professional services firm with legal and corporate services practices spanning the British Virgin Islands, Cayman Islands, Guernsey, Jersey, Luxembourg, Ireland, Dubai, Singapore, and Hong Kong, among others.

For private wealth clients specifically, Ogier offers a dedicated practice covering trust structuring, estate planning, succession, and cross-border asset holding. Its Ogier Global division provides fiduciary and corporate administration services, including acting as liquidator, registered office provider, and director. The Dubai office, for example, combines DIFC foundation and prescribed company formation with DLD registration facilitation, accounting, and compliance oversight, a combination designed for high-net-worth foreign investors holding real estate in the UAE. Key private wealth services include:

• Trust formation, protector advisory, and estate planning across BVI, Cayman, Jersey, Guernsey, and Luxembourg
• DIFC foundations and prescribed companies for UAE real estate holding
• Corporate liquidation and dissolution services across multiple offshore jurisdictions
• Fund administration, transfer agency, and investor services through Ogier Global
• Cross-border compliance, regulatory consulting, and AML support

Ogier is ranked across multiple practice areas in Legal 500, Chambers, and IFLR1000, and operates across 13 global locations with a team of over 1,300 people speaking 29 languages. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and engagements are bespoke. The firm is best suited to families with complex multi-jurisdictional structures requiring coordinated legal and fiduciary support from a single provider, rather than those seeking a technology platform or consolidated reporting tool.
