Law firm Ogier has announced changes to its senior management team. Edward Mackereth has taken over as Global Managing Partner, while Steve Meiklejohn has become Global Senior Partner.
Meanwhile, Nick Kershaw steps away from the Managing Partner role he has held for eight years to become Chair of Ogier’s executive board.
Edward Mackereth joined Ogier as a Dispute Resolution Partner in 2004. Having led Ogier’s Jersey dispute resolution team and then the firm’s global team – across five international offices – he joined Ogier’s executive board in 2015.
He is also part of Ogier’s Trust Advisory Group. With a split role, Edward retains his practice and will continue to specialise in regulatory, fraud and asset-tracing, and banking and commercial disputes.
Steve Meiklejohn is a long-standing Partner within the firm’s Trusts Advisory Group, having been with Ogier for more than 30 years. His appointment follows the retirement of Sarah Fitz.
