Friday 08 March 2019

Ogier has appointed two directors to lead its business services teams in Marketing and IT.

Kate Kirk has been promoted to global Director of Marketing and Communications, while Andrew Gillyett has joined as Group IT Director.

Ms Kirk said: "Marketing in professional services has become increasingly sophisticated, as brands become more distinct and digital channels continue to emerge and evolve. Ogier continues to take marketing and communications very seriously and this new role is a reflection of that."

Mr Gillyett added: "I'm delighted to join Ogier as Group IT Director. The firm has invested heavily in market-leading IT equipment, functionality and security, centred around driving a better client experience through efficiency, transparency and consistency across teams and jurisdictions."

Jamie Bore, Group Partner and Ogier's Chief Operating Officer, said that investing in talent is the foundation of Ogier's "continued growth and success".

"These new roles for Kate and Andrew demonstrate our commitment to that, and to investing in our business services teams," he added. "They're also further evidence of how we are executing our strategy of setting ourselves apart from the traditional law firms not just by our jurisdictional footprint, brand and culture, but also through our focus on innovation and process."
