Walkers is internationally recognised as having one of the leading International Financial Centre hedge fund practices, advising many of the world's most prominent asset managers, fund promoters and institutional investors.
We have established hedge funds for our clients with virtually every known style and strategy. Accordingly, our lawyers have extensive experience of all the structures used in the hedge funds market, their practical and legal consequences as well as the commercial rationale behind them.
The capabilities of our Hedge Fund Group extend beyond fund formation to all legal aspects affecting the continuing operations of hedge funds, including specialist advice on fund management and contentious issues.
Walkers is also a listing agent for the Cayman Islands Stock Exchange (CSX), the Channel Islands Stock Exchange (CISX) and the Irish Stock Exchange (ISE). Our lawyers are regularly involved in the listing of funds on the CSX and our Jersey office has particular experience advising on listings on the AIM and PLUS (formerly known as OFEX) Exchanges in London.
