Ogier Appoints First Female Chairman

Ogier Group has appointed Sarah Fitz as chairman with effect from 1 February 2012 - making her the first female chairman of an international legal and fiduciary firm.
Fitz succeeds Clive Chaplin, who will be retiring on 31 January. Fitz has worked at Ogier since 1987 and is head of the Ogier Personal Law Group, specialising in criminal and family matters.
In July Ogier became the first offshore law firm to launch an office in mainland China, when it opened in Shanghai. To head the office it appointed Kirsty Calvert, a new hire from the China offices of mining firm Rio Tinto.
