Katharine Marshall and Amy Galley have each been awarded two prizes for achieving the highest marks in the Jersey Advocacy exams in 2014 by the Law Society of Jersey and the Institute of Law.

Advocate Marshall from Ogier's Jersey property law team, was awarded the Law of Contract prize jointly with Advocate Simon Thomas of Baker and Partners, and was also awarded the Company Law prize.

Associate Amy Galley won the Law of Security Interests and Bankruptcy prize as well as the Testate and Intestate Succession prize. She first worked for Ogier in 2006 as a bursary student and commenced her training as an English solicitor in December 2009 in the Business and Trust Law Group in Jersey. 

Advocate Raulin Amy, practice partner at Ogier in Jersey said: “Qualifying as a Jersey Advocate needs a huge amount of hard work and dedication and we are very proud that both Katharine and Amy’s achievements have been recognised and that they have each been awarded two prestigious prizes. We have a great track record for training and developing our employees and are one of the few Channel Islands’ firms able to offer England & Wales solicitor training contracts as well as bursaries for those just embarking on their legal studies.”
