The 2025 Lawdragon 100 Leading Cayman Lawyers

Ingrid Pierce (Walkers), James Bergstrom (Ogier) and James Eldridge (Maples Group) are among the honorees in our inaugural guide.

We are delighted to introduce The Lawdragon 100 Leading Cayman Lawyers.

These 100 lawyers hold the keys to the kingdom of the wondrous Cayman Islands – home of magnificent tropical breezes, cryptocurrency and global structured finance.

Which, of course, also makes them a haven for contentious trust litigation, contested insolvency and asset recovery.

This is our first dive, as it were, into lawyering in this offshore paradise. The Cayman-based lawyers recognized here are first rate, representing an abundance of talent in finance, tax, securities regulation and litigation. They are joined by an elite sampling of the global litigators who find their way to disputes thrown off by the vast wealth that calls the Caymans home. More than 80 percent of new offshore investment fund formations are based in the Caymans, which houses nearly half of the industry’s estimated U.S. $1.1 trillion assets under management.

We selected this guide through nominations paired with independent journalistic research. We are delighted to walk the sands of this fascinating jurisdiction, and are grateful to those who participated in this inaugural guide.
