Walkers maintains a broad approach to litigation, tackling insolvency and trust disputes in equal measure in Guernsey and a range of other offshore jurisdictions. Beyond this, the firm is also called upon by several of Guernsey’s government and regulatory bodies, acting for them in public law and regulatory disputes. Following the January 2026 retirement of Alison Ozanne, the team is led by Sarah Brehaut and Adam Cole. Brehaut handles contentious insolvency proceedings, acting for liquidators making winding-up applications, while Cole combines expertise in insolvency and insurance proceedings.
