In this video, Mourant Ozannes senior partner Rob Shepherd talks to Legal Week publisher John Malpas about the firm’s success at the British Legal Awards, where it was named Offshore Law Firm of the Year.

Mourant emerged as the winner in the closely contested category following a sustained period of success which has seen it expand its global presence through office openings in Hong Kong and the British Virgin Islands. In the video, Shepherd discusses the firm’s strategy to be the best law firm in the key offshore jurisdictions – in other words, the ‘best of the best’. Building strength in depth in core practice areas and resisting the temptation to spread itself too thinly are instrumental to the firm’s success.
