Offshore law firm Ogier has appointed Andrew Wanambwa to its British Virgins Islands dispute resolution team.

Wanambwa joins from Norton Rose Fulbright and has experience in advising major corporates, financial institutions and insolvency practitioners on commercial disputes.

He has acted for clients in industries including accountancy, finance, telecoms, insurance, mining, oil, and transport. After spending over two years in Hong Kong, where he was admitted as a solicitor in 2008, he then worked on one of the jurisdiction's biggest commercial disputes arising out of its largest insolvency to date.

"I am delighted to welcome Andrew to Ogier, his appointment will further strengthen our existing BVI team and round out our global offering very well. The BVI Commercial Court is extremely busy and adding Andrew's bench strength to our existing pedigree bodes very well for the practice,” said BVI practice partner, Ray Wearmouth.
