Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands – Ogier announced today that a recent alumna of its articled clerk programme, Ms Sarah McField, was admitted to the Cayman Islands Bar on application by her principal, Ogier Cayman partner Giorgio Subiotto. The application was presented in Court by the firm’s Head of Litigation, Richard de Lacy QC.

“We congratulate Sarah on her admission to the bar and take pride in her association with Ogier

Cayman which has helped her pass this important milestone in her legal career,” said Mr deLacy. Addressing the Hon. Justice Quin on moving Ms McField’s application he said it was “both a pleasure and a privilege to apply to the Court for the admission of an articled clerk who has so distinguished herself in the legal education system of the Islands”.
