The Firm

Uncompromising Advocacy. Conflict-Free Advice.

Founded by Alistair D Walters Junior, Walters & Partners is the leading litigation-only offshore law firm in the Cayman Islands. Because we do not provide transactional advice, we offer completely objective and conflict-free representation. From corporate restructuring to pioneering Web3 disputes, we resolve the unsolvable.

Our Founder

A Legacy Built on Principle.

The firm was originally founded by Alistair Walters Senior, whose decades of advocacy in the Cayman Islands shaped a practice rooted in integrity, discretion, and uncompromising client service. His vision laid the foundation for the independent, litigation-only firm that bears the Walters name today.

That legacy now continues under his son, Alistair D Walters Junior, who carries forward the same standard of conflict-free, principled representation that has defined the Walters name for a generation.
