Mayer Brown welcomes Greg Oguss as Partner in Corporate & Securities and the Global Insurance Industry Group

Mayer Brown, a law firm known for its comprehensive legal services across multiple industries, has announced that Greg Oguss has joined its Chicago office as a partner in the Corporate & Securities practice and the Global Insurance Industry Group.

Oguss previously held the role of global chief counsel for corporate development at Athene Holding Ltd., a subsidiary of Apollo Global Management, Inc.

“Greg is widely recognised as a leading legal advisor on commercial, legal strategy and regulatory matters related to cross-border insurance M&A, asset-intensive reinsurance and asset management opportunities across the US, Bermuda, Europe, and Asia,” said Stephen Rooney, Co-Leader of Mayer Brown’s Global Insurance Industry Group.

“He will be a great asset to our market-leading Insurance Industry Group, allowing us to continue to deliver the highest quality transactional advice to our clients.”

Oguss advises multinational insurers, reinsurers, and alternative asset managers on a broad range of transactions such as new business and legacy reinsurance agreements, acquisitions, divestitures, investment management arrangements, as well as debt and equity financing.

He also has extensive experience navigating regulatory matters both domestically and internationally. His practice focuses on the intersection of insurance—particularly in life and annuity sectors—and alternative asset management, along with a strong record in global insurance M&A deals.

“Returning to private practice after serving for several years in an in-house role at a market leading retirement services provider, I am excited to bring my client-side perspective and close relationships with key market participants to Mayer Brown’s exceptional financial services transactional practice,” commented Oguss.

“Mayer Brown is extremely well-positioned to help a diverse array of clients seeking to address retirement funding gaps across the US, the UK, Europe, and Asia to achieve successful business outcomes. The firm’s reputation for delivering exceptional transactional and regulatory advice in innovative cross-border transactions around the globe is a strong fit for my practice.”

“We continue to prioritise the addition of high caliber lateral hires in our Chicago office to help us drive growth in our strategic areas,” added Joanna Horsnail, the Managing Partner of Mayer Brown’s Chicago office.

“Greg is a terrific addition to our growing corporate insurance team and strengthens our ability to handle more complex reinsurance and M&A deals in the US and internationally.”
