Career

Richard is a corporate lawyer with more than 20 years’ experience in corporate and offshore transactions and a partner in Ogier's corporate and funds team in Guernsey. Richard’s particular specialism is in the Guernsey insurance and reinsurance sector, advising in relation to captives, Insurance Linked Securities, pension risk transfer, cellular structures and regulatory matters. Richard’s practice also includes advising in relation to all aspects of investment funds.

His background as a UK solicitor before coming to the island in 2007 means that he is equally comfortable providing support to onshore counsel in cross jurisdictional matters or acting as lead counsel on local deals.

Richard is actively involved in promotion of Guernsey and frequently represents the island’s insurance sector on panels at industry events. Richard is trusted counsel to local insurance managers and sits on the board of a number of local insurers.

Richard previously worked with Ogier from 2007 to 2012. He was called to the Guernsey Bar in 2014. Richard re-joined Ogier in 2023.
