Leading international law and professional services firm Walkers announced the admission of five articled clerks to the Cayman Islands Bar: Benjamin Black, Kasie Bowden, Joanna Cameron, Bianca Meghoo, Eli Samson.
Their admission follows the successful completion of the firm’s Articles of Clerkship Programme, a key part of the Walkers Cayman Legal Training Programme. The newly qualified attorneys have accepted offers to join the Walkers team across several practice groups including Investment Funds, Finance, Regulatory, and Private Capital and Trusts.
“This is an important milestone for each of our new attorneys and a proud moment for the firm,” said Peter Kendall, partner and chair of the firm’s Cayman Islands Trainee Committee. “Their call to the Bar reflects their dedication and professionalism, and they now join a legacy of over 73 Caymanians who have successfully completed our Legal Training Programme. We’re excited to see the impact they make in their legal careers and beyond.”
The Legal Training Programme is a cornerstone of Walkers’ longstanding commitment to developing homegrown talent and furthering diversity and inclusion in the legal field, the firm said in a press release.
Walkers has conducted legal training in the Cayman Islands for 42 years. This latest cohort underscores the firm’s dedication to nurturing the next generation of Caymanian lawyers and supporting their contribution to both the local and international legal communities, Walkers said.
