Eva Gyori-Toursel has joined Ogier Counsel and will lead the firm’s new range of legal services.
Gyori-Toursel is an international lawyer, and joins from Luxembourg insurance and banking group, where she served as head of legal.
Under Gyori-Toursel, Ogier’s Luxembourg office will expand its established investment funds, corporate, and financial services.
The new range of services includes insurance and private wealth, and will be launched into the Luxembourg market.
Ogier’s new offering includes insurance set-up and contracts, portfolio assignments, regulatory assessments and passporting of activities. The new private wealth offering focuses on wealth and estate planning, matrimonial regimes, successions and relocation.
As the only offshore law firm in Luxembourg, and with offices in the Caribbean, Channel Islands, and Hong Kong, Ogier co-ordinates multi-jurisdictional advice.
Francois Pfister, Ogier’s Luxembourg practice partner, said: “We are delighted that Gyori-Toursel has joined the team. She is a high profile and well-recognised insurance legal and regulatory expert.”
Pfister added: “Gyori-Toursel will undoubtedly be the cornerstone of the development of our new service lines in Luxembourg as we continue to expand and grow our client offering.”
Partner Sally Edwards, the global head of Ogier’s private client team, added: “Our private client team continues to grow, with Gyori-Toursel’s arrival following lateral partner hires in Jersey and Guernsey and the recruitment of Wisdom Hon in Hong Kong in the last 12 months, all in response to continued growth in instructions and activity.”
“The addition of the Luxembourg capacity is a clear differentiator, and we are pleased to welcome Gyori-Toursel to our international team.”
