Ogier has a strong history fielding one of the foremost public M&A and corporate securities in BVI, and has more recently developed strengths in corporate reorganisation and advice to the growing market for technology startups. Following the February 2024 retirement of Ray Wearmouth, the corporate practice group is now solely led by Michael Killourhy, who comes recommended by one client as ‘unrivalled when it comes to BVI corporate, finance, decentralised finance and funds work’. He is counsel to a number of major multinationals in various industries, and places particular emphasis on equity capital markets and public and private M&A. Experienced corporate finance advisor David Mathews is also a key figure in the team.
