A Firm At The Forefront Of Change

When Katrina Edge began her career with Ogier in 2002, the legal profession was very different. Suits were a requirement, lawyers worked from their offices, and women were not a common sight at senior levels.

18 years later, working practices, workspaces, dress codes and attitudes within the profession are all more flexible.

Ogier had embraced flexible working practices long before the start of the current pandemic with employees and partners being encouraged to work remotely across Ogier's offices. "Ogier has been investing in technology for a long time, meaning that as a business we were able to move all of our staff to effective remote working very quickly when the pandemic hit", Katrina said.  "I already worked from home at least one day a week so the 'new normal' was not too much of a shock to the system, although it was a relief when home-schooling finished."
