SEVENTEEN employees at Ogier have this week been told to leave the business.
The staff affected include six lawyers, three legal secretaries and eight business support workers. The legal and fiduciary services firm says it has recently completed an efficiency review and that this has resulted in ‘a few small changes’.
In a statement, the management said: ‘Where the review affected our people we explored a number of options to minimise the impact – options included transferring some of our people from one business to another and retraining and reskilling.
‘As a result of the review we have made a few small changes in our business to ensure we are being as efficient as possible as well as providing our clients with the levels of service they would expect from a leading offshore professional services firm.’
The statement says that the 17 employees will be given ‘generous’ compensation packages and helped to find other work.
