Standing out for its 'impressive strength in depth', Walkers' team in dispute resolution is a go-to for asset recovery, restructuring and insolvency matters of the highest complexity in the jurisdiction. The Grand Cayman office is a key part of the firm's wider international dispute resolution offering, which makes it a strong choice for cross-border cases. As well as having acted in major newsworthy company collapses such as Saad and Abraaj, the team is also adept in other areas of dispute resolution, having acted in standout property litigation cases, as well as grants of injunctive relief. The practice group is overseen by Neil Lupton, one of the jurisdictions foremost cross-border restructuring experts; and Matthew Goucke, who excels in corporate recovery matters. 'One of the brightest minds in the Cayman Islands' Shelley White has extensive experience in complex litigation, trust disputes, and insolvency and restructuring cases, and Rupert Bell maintains a stellar practice in cases stemming from a variety of company collapses. Nick Dunne has a particular focus on fraud and asset recovery, while for cross-border restructurings implemented by way of schemes of arrangement, Fiona MacAdam is a standout contact. Siobhan Sheridan is another example of the team's strength in depth, excelling in cross-border contentious and non-contentious restructuring of Cayman Islands companies and partnerships.
