Investment funds
“I appreciate the comprehensive review that Walkers brings to our documents. I particularly appreciate that on especially complex agreements, they do not ‘stay in their own lane ’– by which I mean that they do not restrict their comments only to aspects of Cayman Islands laws and regulations.They read the entire document, adding insight and raising issues along the way.”
Private equity
“Excellent lawyering and commercial-oriented focus to solve legal issues. I also appreciate their quick turnaround on requests as well as excellent communication with our team.”
