Walkers has achieved impressive rankings in the Chambers UK 2027 guide, showcasing its offshore capabilities across Jersey, Guernsey, and London

In the latest Chambers UK 2027 guide, Walkers has marked significant achievements, particularly in its offshore legal capabilities. Notably, the Jersey Dispute Resolution team ascended to Band 1, earning a place alongside the Jersey Corporate & Finance team in the top tier of rankings. Meanwhile, the London office has maintained its Band 1 ranking for Offshore: Bermudian, British Virgin Islands & Cayman Islands Law for the eleventh consecutive year. Additionally, the guide validated the strength of Walkers' Guernsey practice with top rankings in both Dispute Resolution and Employment sectors.

The results further highlight individual ranking promotions and new recognitions throughout Walkers’ Jersey, Guernsey, and London offices, underscoring the breadth of expertise within the firm. One standout promotion is that of London Managing Partner, Hughie Wong, who has been elevated to Eminent Practitioner. Wong expressed his enthusiasm, stating "We are delighted to see our teams recognised once again in Chambers UK. These results reflect the strength and depth of our offshore offering across Jersey, Guernsey and London, as well as the quality of the advice we deliver to clients across jurisdictions, sectors and practice areas. The continued recognition of our leading teams and the progression achieved by a number of our lawyers demonstrates the talent of our people and our continued focus on supporting clients on their most important and complex matters. We are grateful to our clients for their trust and support, and for the feedback they provide through the Chambers research process."

The rankings are bolstered by strong client feedback across Walkers' various practice areas. Clients have characterised Walkers as "commercial, solution-oriented and extremely responsive", while others have highlighted its lawyers as "technically exceptional and most commercial at the same time." The guide reflects the firm’s technical expertise and market knowledge. Clients acknowledge Walkers for its commitment to delivering practical, solutions-focused advice on complex matters, recognising its lawyers as highly knowledgeable, trusted advisers and experts in their respective fields
