Walkers has been shortlisted in the Digital Assets Practice of the Year category at the prestigious STEP Private Client Awards.
Its Private Capital & Trusts team which operates across Bermuda, the British Virgin Islands, the Cayman Islands, Guernsey, and Jersey is a finalist alongside other major international firms.
The Trusts Team has significant practical experience working with digital assets, advising not just on strategy and management of digital assets within private wealth structures, but also on the use of such structures in online communities and enterprises.
Partner and Head of the Guernsey Private Capital & Trusts team, Rupert Morris said: “We have a long and deep track record of advising on ground-breaking work in the area of digital assets and are delighted that STEP has recognised the way we work and the growth in our global practice over recent years.”
The STEP Private Client Awards are seen as the hallmark of quality within the private client industry. They recognise and celebrate excellence among private client solicitors, lawyers, accountants, barristers, bankers, trust managers and financial advisors.
Entries undergo a rigorous judging process by an independent panel of experts from the wealth management sphere.
The winners will be announced at a ceremony on 18 September in London.
