Ogier expands into Luxembourg

Posted: 18 January 2012

Ogier has announced that it is planning to open in Luxembourg. Ogier has also announced it is intending to set up a fiduciary business in Luxembourg later this year, focusing on corporate and fund administration business. 

Ogier's Luxembourg legal practice will be headed up by François Pfister who has extensive legal experience in Luxembourg with particular emphasis on investment funds, international taxation, mergers and acquisitions and corporate law. François is a senior partner of OPF Partners in Luxembourg. 

Ogier's will focus predominantly on providing services to existing offshore investment fund clients with Luxembourg structures, either alongside or in addition to their offshore structures, as well as introducing new business into Luxembourg from existing clients from other Ogier offices notably in Asia and North America. 

It is envisaged that the office will open with two partners; Daniel Richards, a Group partner in Ogier's Jersey office who has taken a lead role in the initiative, will relocate to Luxembourg to work alongside François Pfister.
