Mourant Ozannes has underlined its position as the leading offshore law firm, with more Citywealth Leading Lawyer recommendations than any other offshore firm.

The Citywealth Leaders List is a benchmark publication for the private wealth management sector. Mourant Ozannes, with offices in the Cayman Islands, Guernsey, Jersey, Hong Kong and London, now has 15 Leading Lawyer recommendations including more Contentious Trust Leading Lawyers than any other offshore law firm.

The directory includes a ‘Leading Lawyer’ recommendation for Morven McMillan, Head of Mourant Ozannes’ International Trusts & Private Client practice in the Cayman Islands, with a highlight quote from the client research: ‘I cannot speak highly enough of Morven’s qualities.’

Citywealth magazine features leading family offices, private client lawyers and fund managers. The editorial content aims to inform ultra-high net worth individuals and their advisors about the leading organisations within the global wealth industry. Available by subscription only, Citywealth is acknowledged as one of the world’s most influential wealth management publications.

Douglas Close, head of Mourant Ozannes International Trusts & Private Client practice, commented: “Citywealth is a significant publication for the global wealth management industry. To be listed as having more leading lawyer recommendations than any other offshore law firm is testimony to expertise of our lawyers and the emphasis we place on delivering excellent client service. It is particularly satisfying that our knowledge in the area of Contentious Trusts has been recognised by our peers and clients.”

Now in its seventh year, the Citywealth Leaders List is compiled through recommendations of global peers, ultra-high net worth clients and charitable organisations. All those featured in the list are nominated confidentially by private clients or by peer recommendation. The nomination process is rigorous, with extensive interviews, references and testimonials.
