Ogier celebrates graduates from solicitor training programme

Monday 04 April 2022

Two employees from Ogier have graduated from the law firm’s English solicitor training programme.

Graduate Tehya Morgan will join Guernsey’s private wealth team, while Alex Vibert will join Jersey’s corporate team, both as associates.

The two newly qualified solicitors successfully completed Ogier's two-year training scheme, and sees trainees take on up to four seats, including time in litigation, as well as the Professional Skills Course and an experiential litigation course that included a mock trial.

Programme Leader and Ogier Partner Richard Daggett is a former graduate of the scheme.

“Ogier is one of only two Channel Island firms to have invested in a training scheme regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority and the stream of high-quality associates we are being able to welcome into our teams in Jersey and Guernsey is a real testament to the success of the scheme,” he said.

“I would like to congratulate both Tehya and Alex.”

Before joining the programme, Miss Morgan joined Ogier as a bursary student in 2014 and became a paralegal in 2018. Her previous supervisor, Managing Associate Chris Hards from the Guernsey private wealth team, said:

"I have had the pleasure of working with Tehya for the last four years, initially as a paralegal and latterly as she completed her traineeship. Tehya has proven herself to be a dedicated, thoughtful and enthusiastic lawyer.

“We are delighted to be welcoming her as an associate into the growing Private Wealth team and have every confidence that she will continue to provide excellent client service."

Alex's previous supervisor, Counsel Daniel Maine, said:

"I am delighted to hear that Alex has decided to qualify with Ogier; he is committed, a pleasure to work with and has demonstrated that he has the key skills needed to provide a strong service to our clients."
