Award wins, top tier directory rankings, promotions and major deals – the top 12 news releases for 2016 measured by traffic on Ogier.com show a cross-section of the firm's activity over the last year.

The "most-clicked" content – based just on our own site traffic, and not on the outlets that ran the media releases - leant heavily on the Cayman and Jersey offices, but covered every one of our legal service lines.

The year has seen the appointment of new partners across our BVI, Cayman, Guernsey, Hong Kong and Luxembourg offices, and the recruitment of more new partners that we will be able to announce in the first few months of next year.

There have also been changes in the firm's leadership - a new Global Managing Partner, Edward Mackereth, and a new Global Senior Partner, Steve Meiklejohn, have been appointed, with both playing a major role in the roll-out of the award-winning brand and internal strategies that have been developed throughout the year.
