Walkers in the Cayman Islands

About Walkers

Walkers is a multi-jurisdiction law firm whose roots in Grand Cayman go back to 1964. Alongside its legal practice it runs a regulated professional-services arm that handles entity formation, fiduciary work and compliance for fund managers, financial institutions, family offices and private clients. Its network spans offices in Bermuda, the British Virgin Islands, Dubai, Guernsey, Hong Kong, Ireland, Jersey, London and Singapore, which makes cross-border structuring a routine part of its client work. Sectors covered include investment funds, insurance, fintech, banking and private capital. Because the group sits at the large end of the market and concentrates on institutional mandates, it is a less natural fit for small founders, but it does publish dedicated service lines for corporate administration, accounting and tax-related agency work.

Services

The professional-services arm covers company and partnership formation, registered office and registered agent appointments, company secretarial and board support, process agent roles, and fiduciary services. It also lists accounting, tax and agency services, FATCA and CRS reporting, economic substance support, beneficial ownership filings, investor due diligence, AML oversight and training, liquidations, and global entity management. The law practice adds fund, corporate, finance, regulatory, trust and tax advice across several international jurisdictions.
