Advocate Helen Ruelle has joined Ogier in Jersey as the firm’s new Director of Local Legal Services.
Helen is one of the island’s most prominent employment lawyers, and was a partner and head of Mourant Ozannes’ Jersey employment law team during a 16-year career at the firm.
Her arrival at Ogier comes after a series of lateral partner hires – usually rare in the offshore world – that over the last 12 months has seen the firm recruit partners directly from competitors Mourants, Bedell Cristin, Appleby and Harneys.
Her new role will involve developing and co-ordinating Ogier’s Local Legal Services service areas that span property, corporate, employment and regulatory law.
Ogier’s Global Managing Partner Edward Mackereth said: “Helen is a lawyer with an outstanding reputation in the local market and we are very pleased to welcome her aboard. With her experience across a range of areas including employment, data protection and competition, she is the perfect addition to take on this new strategic role of Director of Local Legal Services.”
