Ogier has strengthened its global Corporate team with the promotion of Amy Garrod to partner in Jersey and the addition of new partner Natalie Bell in the Cayman Islands.
Ranked as an ‘up and coming’ partner in Chambers Global, Natalie is highly regarded in the Cayman Islands financial services community. She has considerable experience advising joint ventures, acting for venture capital-backed companies, advising on M&A work for multinational groups, listed company work including SPACs, capital reductions, continuations and takeovers.
Meanwhile, described in Legal 500 as ‘unflappable, an expert in simplifying the most complex transactions and an all-round safe pair of hands,’ Amy (pictured) first joined Ogier as a bursary student in 2006 and has progressed though the firm’s leading partner development programme.
Amy advises on a wide variety of corporate and finance transactions with a focus on real estate holding structures and borrower side finance transactions involving companies, limited partnerships and Jersey property unit trusts. As part of Ogier’s top tier Corporate team in Jersey, she has worked on multiple high-profile deals, including the UK’s largest ever single asset deal, Battersea Power Station.
So far in 2024, Ogier’s Corporate team has welcomed four new partners, in addition to several senior hires in its Guernsey, Luxembourg and London-based teams.
“Our global Corporate practice continues to go from strength to strength, and the addition of these two excellent and highly experienced lawyers to the team ensures that we can continue to meet client demand across a wide range of corporate matters,” said Ogier’s global head of Corporate, Nathan Powell.
“Amy’s progression to partner is a testament to the invaluable contribution she has made to the team and the high regard our clients hold for her. Natalie has an outstanding reputation in the market and we delighted to welcome her to the firm.”
