This article may meet Wikipedia's criteria for speedy deletion because in its current form it serves only to promote or publicise an entity, person, product, or idea, and would require a fundamental rewrite in order to become encyclopedic. However, the mere fact that a company, organization, or product is a page's subject does not, on its own, qualify that page for deletion under this criterion. This criterion also does not apply where substantial encyclopedic content would remain after removing the promotional material as deletion is not cleanup; in this case please remove the promotional material yourself, or add the {{advert}} tag to alert others to do so. See CSD G11.

Ogier & Le Masurier, changed its name to Ogier in 2005.
Recognised as one of the world's leading providers of offshore legal and fiduciary services, Ogier is the only offshore firm with significant and well established practices in each of the four major offshore jurisdictions - BVI, Cayman Islands, Guernsey and Jersey, although the firm does not have any presence in Bermuda.
The group employs more than 800 professional and support staff worldwide, comprising 36 partners and more than 180 attorneys.[1]
Offices
Ogier operates in eleven jurisdictions around the world, namely Bahrain, the British Virgin Islands, the Cayman Islands, Guernsey, Hong Kong, Ireland, Jersey, London, Montevideo, New Zealand and Tokyo.
The new Zealand office has no employees. There are 3 people in Bahrain, 3 people in Montevideo, and 2 people in Tokyo.
Expansion
Ogier is sometimes pointed to as the law firm which started the multi-jurisdictional trend amongst offshore law firms when it acquired Cayman Islands firm, Boxalls, in 2003. That claim is disputed by Conyers Dill & Pearman who assert that they were the first multi-jurisdictional offshore law firm when they moved a single one of their lawyers to the British Virgin Islands in 1996, although several Channel Islands firms had offices in both Jersey and Guernsey by then. Whether or not one accepts the claim, the Ogier-Boxalls merger was certainly the first trans-Atlantic merger and preceded a number of mergers between law firms of different jurisdictions, particularly between Jersey and the Cayman Islands. Ogier would later also acquire its presence in the British Virgin Islands, Montevideo and Hong Kong by way of merger with British Virgin Islands firm, WSmiths, that completed on February 1, 2007.[2]
In 2007 Ogier purchased a structured finance administration business in Dublin to increase its global structured finance administration offering. In 2008 Ogier launched Ogier Private Wealth, Ogier also further expanded with offices in Tokyo and Bahrain.[3]
