Walkers BVI stands out on several fronts when it comes to its banking and finance work, including focusing on the recent growth area of fintech entries via BVI, as well as continuing to be a recognised name in traditional, high-value cross-border finance transactions. Asset finance for aircraft and private vessels is also a strength, and the broad offering is also well versed in capital markets work, structured finance, and related regulatory matters. Matthew Cowman, the managing partner of the BVI office, is strong on commercial financing and he co-leads the department with Omonike Robinson-Pickering, who has a thriving, growing practice specialising in advising financial institutions and borrowers on complex cross-border finance transactions from a BVI perspective. Lauren Williamson is another stand-out name across banking and finance transactions.
