Ogier Fiduciary Services has opened a new office in Luxembourg. This, the firm says, is part of its strategy of developing a "significant" presence in each of the world's key financial markets and across all time zones.

The Luxembourg office is headed by Paul Lawrence and Michel Thill. Lawrence, who is a partner at Ogier, has been with the firm since 2008 and leads the real estate services team. He has relocated from Jersey to establish the Luxembourg business. Thill has worked in the finance sector in Luxembourg for over 25 years, providing fund administration, fund accounting and domicile services.

“Luxembourg is an ideal fit for the Ogier business and will enable us to meet the cross-jurisdictional demands of an international client base through our network of offices," Thill said in a statement.

Ogier Fiduciary Services in Luxembourg will initially focus on providing outsourced corporate domicile and fund administration services to private equity and real estate fund managers.

Last year, Ogier Group opened a boutique law firm in Luxembourg.
