Walkers, the international legal and professional services firm, has further solidified its market leadership with exceptional results in the prestigious 2025 Chambers Global guide.
A total of 81 Walkers partners are ranked this year, with 16 partners recognised as Eminent Practitioners or Band 1 lawyers. The firm's strength in depth is further reflected in 85 individual rankings overall, including an impressive 18 new entrants to the guide.
Among the notable individual achievements, Natalie Neto has been promoted to Band 1 for Bermuda: Corporate & Finance, and Neil Lupton has been recognised as an Eminent Practitioner for the Cayman Islands: Dispute Resolution category. Of the new entrants, eight were for Up and Coming or Associate to Watch.
Ingrid Pierce, Global Managing Partner at Walkers, said: “With so many new individual rankings, we continue to raise the bar and demonstrate a deep bench of global talent. I'm proud of our collective achievements and grateful for the trust our clients place in us as their partner of choice across the globe."
In a notable achievement, Walkers has clinched an additional two prestigious Band 1 rankings in the 2025 guide: securing top positions in the Bermuda Dispute Resolution rankings and the British Virgin Island (BVI)'s Corporate & Finance including Investment Funds table.
The good news builds on key practices maintaining their prestigious Band 1 positions, including the London office’s top ranking across all ranked practice areas for Bermuda, BVI and Cayman Islands, the United Arab Emirates Offshore category for the Dubai office, plus the firm’s Cayman Islands office dominating the rankings across all four of its categories. Walkers now holds Band 1 rankings in 11 categories.
Ingrid continued: “Elevating our Band 1 recognition in Bermuda, BVI and the Middle East is a significant milestone and reflects the strategic investment we’ve made in strengthening and expanding these key practices. We remain committed to delivering the high-quality advice that our clients rely on across all our jurisdictions.”
