Nov 20, 2023

Announcement
Blue and purple smoke swirled in the water.

Three Bermuda practice areas of Walkers, the international law and professional services firm, have been awarded the coveted Tier 1 status in The Legal 500 2024 Caribbean Guide rankings of industry leaders.

The firm’s Banking, Finance and Capital Markets; Dispute Resolution; and Insurance / Reinsurance practices all receive the top Tier 1 rating, while Legal 500 continues to rank the Corporate and Commercial and Regulatory and Compliance practices in Bermuda in the high performing Tier 2 category.

The Bermuda, Cayman Islands, and British Virgin Islands (BVI) offices of Walkers combined have received more Tier 1 rankings in The Legal 500 2024 Caribbean Guide than any other firm.

In total, the guide ranks 18 practice areas across the three offices, solidifying Walkers' reputation as the leading law firm in the Caribbean with unparalleled expertise and client service. Eleven practice areas are ranked Tier 1 practices, with the other seven practice areas all ranking in Tier 2.

Kevin Taylor, Bermuda managing partner at Walkers, said: “The elevation of three of our key practice areas to the highest rating in the course of a single year is welcome independent recognition of our unwavering client focus and commitment to providing best in class commercial advice that meets our clients’ needs.”
