Jersey-based William Costa (pictured above with Richard Daggett) and Henry Simpson in Guernsey (pictured below with Bryon Rees) have graduated from Ogier’s English solicitor training programme to join the firm as associates.
Both William and Henry successfully completed the two-year training scheme programme, which is regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority and which sees trainees take on up to four seats, including time in litigation, as well as the Professional Skills Course and an experiential litigation course that includes a mock trial at the Magistrate’s Court.
William is joining the Jersey corporate team and Henry will join the Guernsey corporate funds team.
Ogier is one of only two Channel Island firms to have invested in the training scheme, graduates of which include partner Richard Daggett, who now leads the training scheme.
Richard said: “We are delighted to celebrate William and Henry’s success and welcome them to their new role as an associate. Qualifying as a solicitor is a landmark in anyone’s legal career, and our investment in supporting trainees through a dedicated development programme equivalent to those run by City firms is something that we take significant pride in.”
