Walkers is an international legal and professional services firm headquartered in the Cayman Islands. Walkers provides legal, corporate, compliance and fiduciary services to global corporations, financial institutions, capital markets participants and investment fund managers.
Walkers practices the laws of six jurisdictions (Bermuda, British Virgin Islands, Cayman Islands, Guernsey, Jersey and Ireland) from ten offices globally in Bermuda, the British Virgin Islands, Cayman Islands, Dubai, Guernsey, Hong Kong, Ireland, Jersey, London and Singapore.
The firm was founded in 1964 by Bill Walker (under the name W.S. Walker & Co.) shortly after Jamaican independence in 1962. Walkers is generally accepted as being the oldest Caymanian law firm, older than rivals Maples and Calder by about two years. The firm moved into its current headquarters, at 190 Elgin Avenue, in 2013.
In late 2007, discussions became public about a proposed merger between Walkers and Jersey-based Mourant du Feu & Jeune. However, in February 2008 the two firms announced that they were no longer pursuing merger talks.
In March 2012, Walkers announced it was selling its fiduciary business, Walkers Management Services, to the Intertrust Group. In May 2015, Walkers announced the establishment of a new fiduciary business called Walkers Professional Services (WPS).
In December 2025, Walkers announced it was heading into a strategic partnership with Vitruvian Partners.
