Ogier's Dispute Resolution team in Guernsey is led by partners Simon Davies and Mathew Newman. The team represents a wide range of clients, from banks and trust companies to corporate and commercial entities and high net worth individuals from across the globe.
The expertise that Ogier's Dispute Resolution team in Guernsey has is reflected in the matters that it has worked on, many of which are reported, particularly in the trust and insolvency fields.
Notably, the Carlyle Group, Carlyle Investment Management and TCGH, represented by partner Simon Davies, won a civil case thought to be the largest in Guernsey's history, successfully defending claims including that its management of a Guernsey fund was in breach of duties alleged to be owed to it that led to total investment losses in the 2008 financial crash. The case – valued at well over £1 billion – is thought to be the largest in Guernsey's history by financial value, duration, and number of documents filed.
Ogier's Dispute Resolution team is also a key contributor to local practice, assisting in a variety of specific areas covered by other submissions in the fields of property, construction and planning and employment and immigration work.
