Cayman Islands based offshore firm,
Walkers, has had an office in Dublin since 2010 and its global managing partner is Ingrid Pierce. The firm’s international network includes 10 offices across Europe, the Americas,
Asia and the Middle East.
In debt capital markets the firm actively advises on high value debt instruments and bond issues for multinational clients. For instance, the firm advised on the local Irish legal, regulatory and tax aspects of Baring’s
Euro Middle Market CLO. This
represented the first ever middle market private
credit collateralised loan transaction
to be completed in Europe.
Another notable example of the
firms engagement in high profile transactions is the
assistance of Citigroup Global Markets Asia Limited as global coordinator to a syndicate of banks in a $1.5 billion facility to SMBC Aviation Capital. The firm
advised Citi on all Irish legal matters.
