We're delighted to announce our outstanding performance in The Legal 500 Caribbean 2025 edition. Our firm has achieved top-tier rankings in 12 practice areas and recommendations in seven more, cementing our position as a leader in the Americas legal market.
Our Cayman Islands office has achieved incredible results in maintaining its position as the go-to legal services provider in the jurisdiction. Our Insurance team have moved to Tier 1 in the Insurance/Reinsurance category, making our firm top tier in every category it’s ranked for in the Cayman Islands. Not to be outdone, our Bermuda office’s Regulatory and Compliance team have also climbed to Tier 1 in their field. Strength in British Virgin Islands (BVI) is shown by our Tier 1 ranked Dispute Resolution and Private Capital and Trusts teams.
Our exceptional performance is further highlighted by the recognition of 20 Leading Partners, 19 Next Generation Partners and two Leading Associates across our Bermuda, BVI and Cayman Islands offices. Highlights include Andrew Barker and Matthew Cowman gaining positions as Leading Partners, Hannah Tildesley and Paul Waldron’s appointments as Next Generation Partners, and Korin Knights being included in the Leading Associate category.
Ingrid Pierce, Global Managing Partner at Walkers, said: "Our success stems from the depth of expertise and collaborative approach across our Americas teams, which means that our service truly stands out in the industry. We are committed to our clients' success and I’m deeply appreciative of their support and recognition, reflected in these results.”
Legal 500 commentary on the firm noted: "Walkers remains a renowned name for advice to investment funds at the very highest level, handling the gamut of matters, from fund formation and capitalisation, to financing, regulation, and downstream transactions. The firm’s complementary offering in regulatory matters bolsters its broader investment funds work and stands it out in the market."
"Walkers continues to be a standout choice in the Cayman Islands for financial services regulatory advice, instructed on a regular basis by multinational financial institutions, insurers, banks, and fintech and virtual asset companies."
These rankings reflect our commitment to excellence and our continued growth in the Americas legal market. We're grateful to our clients for their trust and to our dedicated team of legal professionals for their outstanding work.
