Walkers is generally accepted as being the oldest Caymanian law firm, older than rivals Maples and Calder by about two years.
In late 2007, discussions became public about a proposed merger between Walkers and Jersey-based Mourant du Feu & Jeune.
Shortly afterwards, a large number of Walkers partners and senior associates defected to rival Caymanian law firm, Maples and Calder.
Walkers is headquartered in the Cayman Islands and has further offices in Dubai, Dublin, London, Singapore, Hong Kong and Bermuda.
In July 2016, Walkers announced that they had acquired by merger the Guernsey law firm AO Hall.
