Announcement
Blue and purple smoke swirled in the water.

Walkers' Regulatory & Risk Advisory practice in Jersey has been further strengthened with the addition of regulatory specialist Gemma Palmer.

Gemma has over six years of experience as a regulatory lawyer in Jersey and her arrival into the team as Senior Counsel enhances Walkers' specialist Regulatory & Risk capability at a time when client demand for this service is rising.

Gemma advises on all aspects of Jersey financial services laws and regulations, and has significant experience acting for a wide range of locally regulated entities, as well as multinational institutions with connections to Jersey. This includes providing advice on licensing and other regulatory requirements to those looking to do business in the jurisdiction.

Gemma is the third recent arrival in the Walkers' Jersey Regulatory & Risk Advisory team, following Senior Counsel Sian Langley and Associate Amman Bulchandani.

Fraser Hern, the head of Walkers' Channel Islands business, added: "We are unique as an offshore law firm in having a specialist global Regulatory & Risk Advisory practice, comprised of lawyers who are totally dedicated to the practice on a full time basis. Our specialism has been well received by clients across the globe, and has resulted in us being seen as market leaders in their respective jurisdictions. Our Channel Islands Regulatory & Risk Advisory practice forms an important part of this global practice, and we are looking forward to seeing the group go from strength to strength. Gemma’s arrival into the group is extremely welcome and we have no doubt that she will be a huge success”.

Lucy Frew, the head of Walkers’ Global Regulatory & Risk Advisory practice, commented: "Ours is the largest and longest-established global group of dedicated financial regulatory lawyers of all the offshore firms, and the only one to have dedicated financial regulatory lawyers located on the ground in each of our ten offices. We bring decades of specialist financial industry experience, having worked within financial regulators, global financial institutions and leading law firms and we are delighted that Gemma is joining us in Jersey to help our clients succeed in an ever-evolving international regulatory environment."
