Mourant Ozannes Tops Offshore Advice Providers In 2011
Monday, January 02, 2012
Mourant Ozannes has been acknowledged as the leading offshore law firm in terms
of its provision of advice to FTSE-listed companies, according to the latest
annual ratings published by Hemscott and Morningstar.
Mourant Ozannes was recognised in the rankings for advising 15 FTSE-listed
companies, twice as many as its nearest competitor. The firm also scored well
in terms of the size of the companies it advises, with three FTSE100 companies
and twelve FTSE250 companies.
Mourant Ozannes also places top amongst the offshore firms in terms of the
value of its listed clients, with a total market capitalisation of GBP68.76bn
- more than twice that of the second placed offshore firm.
When compared with all UK law firms, Mourant Ozannes was placed 13th for the
number of stock market-listed clients (55) and 19th in terms of market capitalisation.
The ratings round-off a hugely successful year for Mourant Ozannes, which
has seen it act as offshore legal counsel in a number of significant listings
and corporate deals, including the world’s largest IPO during 2011.
Jonathan Rigby, Managing Partner, commented: “These latest ratings clearly
show that, by some way, Mourant Ozannes is the leading offshore firm for high
value work on behalf of stock market-listed companies.”
Rob Shepherd, Managing Partner for Mourant Ozannes in Guernsey, added: “Maintaining
our leading position amongst offshore law firms is testament to the knowledge
and expertise of our team of lawyers right across the Channel Islands.” |
