Ingrid Pierce
Global Managing Partner
Cayman Islands
Matthew succeeds Rob Jackson, who steps down on 30 June having completed a three-year term in the role. Rob will remain with the firm as a finance partner.
Matthew is a partner in our Insolvency & Dispute Resolution Group, specialising in corporate recovery and contentious insolvency. He has been with Walkers since 2007 and is widely recognised as one of the leading practitioners in his field, holding top rankings from Chambers Global, Legal 500 and Lexology Index.
Ingrid Pierce, global managing partner at Walkers, said: ‘Rob has been instrumental in the continued growth and development of our Cayman office over the past three years. His leadership has been defined by a collaborative, people-first approach that has left a lasting positive impact on the team and the business. I would like to extend my sincere thanks to Rob for his many contributions and the example he has set while leading in Cayman. Matthew is an exceptionally talented lawyer who is highly regarded across the market, and I look forward to working closely with him as we build on this strong foundation and enter an exciting next chapter.’
Rob said: ‘Three years as OMP has given me an even deeper appreciation of what makes the Cayman Islands office exceptional – the quality of the people and the work. I leave the role knowing it is in very good hands with Matthew.’
Matthew added: ‘Our Cayman office is a remarkable outfit with a talented team. I'm looking forward to the role and to continuing the momentum we have built.’
