Career

David is a member of the transactional team in the British Virgin Islands based in our London office. David advises on a broad range of matters, focusing on mergers and acquisitions and debt finance. He is also a part of the firm's broader fintech team, advising BVI token issuers and platform operators on their initial coin offerings and subsequent operations.

David is also part of Ogier's multi-disciplinary Private Equity team. He specialises in acquisitions and disposals (including the structuring of vehicles for these purposes), investment and shareholder agreements, and management incentive plans, with experience in acquisition financing transactions. David's achievements include working on Texas Pacific Group's 2019 exit from their investment in the London Main Board listed Russian retailer Lenta, as part of one of the largest all cash offers for a listed BVI company ever, and advising Bain Capital-backed Toys R Us on the sale of their Asian business.

Before joining Ogier, David worked for another leading BVI law firm where he specialised in mergers and acquisitions and finance. Prior to this, he worked in the London office of Kirkland & Ellis International LLP, where he focused primarily on multi-jurisdictional private equity transactions, including mergers and acquisitions, leveraged finance, and debt capital markets.
