Ogier is one of only two Channel Island firms to have invested in a training scheme regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority. Graduates of the scheme include partner Richard Daggett and a number of senior lawyers in the firm.
Partner Richard Daggett, who leads the training scheme, said: "We are delighted to celebrate the success of Marcela, Ben, Brooke and Gayoung and welcome them to their new role as Associates.
"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."
