Walkers Scoops Asset Recovery and Restructuring & Insolvency Awards at 2021 Who's Who Legal Awards

Walkers is pleased to announce that its Global Insolvency & Dispute Resolution ("IDR") Group has won two awards at the recent 2021 Who's Who Legal Awards. Competing in a field of top tier international law firms (both onshore and offshore), Walkers was awarded the trophies for Asset Recovery Law Firm of the Year and Restructuring & Insolvency Law Firm of the Year.

These accolades come on the back of Walkers securing a top ten ranking for restructuring and insolvency legal services for the first time in the latest Global Restructuring Review Top 30 list 2021, placing Walkers in the law firm global elite.

Cayman Islands partner Neil Lupton commented: "I am delighted that our hard working and responsive team has been recognised by peers and the market in this manner. We pride ourselves on our time-sensitive global footprint and are proud to represent many of the largest ongoing cross border matters in the courts."

Walkers' Global IDR group is internationally recognised as having the premier restructuring, insolvency and corporate recovery team amongst the offshore magic circle law firms. Walkers has a dedicated restructuring and insolvency practice in each of its ten offices in key locations around the world which offer Bermuda, British Virgin Islands, Cayman Islands, Guernsey, Irish and Jersey legal advice on all aspects of restructuring, insolvency, corporate recovery, litigation and dispute resolution. With the most ranked offshore restructuring and insolvency lawyers, Walkers frequently plays a leading role in the most complex, ground breaking, cross-border cases that involve offshore jurisdictions. Walkers' IDR Group specialises in complex cross-border restructurings, contentious and non-contentious insolvencies, insolvency and high value litigation and distressed situations.

Colette Wilkins QC also notes: "We are very grateful to our clients for their instructions and their trust in us. We have had some great successes in recent years and we are delighted to see the strength of our team recognised by marquee market commentators like Who's Who Legal."

Who’s Who Legal lists only the leading lawyers in each field, based on the findings of an independent six-month research process that encompasses feedback from private practitioners, clients and other experts in the sector.
