Walkers is a renowned name across offshore jurisdictions for its counsel on trusts and private wealth matters, and in Cayman remains a leading choice for entrepreneurs, trustees, family offices, and major businesses. Its broad offering spans trust litigation; investment, relocation and preservation of private wealth; family investment funds; succession planning; and commercial trust and foundation structures. Three lawyers jointly coordinate the department: Philip Paschalides, one of the market's standout advisors to private clients on the financial aspects of cross-border transactions; Monique Bhullar, a leading name in all aspects of private trusts, foundation companies and other wealth and estate planning structures; and Shelley White, whose practice focuses on trust disputes. Another key lawyer is Lucy Diggle, who is regularly instructed on matters involving the settlement, restructuring, ongoing management and termination of Cayman Islands trusts and wealth planning structures. Scott Jones and Philip Aubry provide robust support to the partners. Former senior partner David Pytches retired from practice in early 2024.
