Legal and professional services firm Walkers’ Channel Islands offices have delivered results in the Chambers Fintech 2026 guide, with Jersey maintaining its Band 1 ranking and Guernsey entering the rankings for the first time at Band 1.
In Jersey, Dilmun Leach continues to hold his Band 1 ranking, with Sarah Townsend recognised as Up and Coming. In Guernsey, the Band 1 ranking marks a significant milestone for the office as it builds on growth in fintech work and prepares for anticipated changes to digital asset regulation.
Chris Hutley-Hurst, partner in Guernsey, said: “Achieving Band 1 in Chambers Fintech for the first time is a fantastic endorsement of the work we’ve been doing in Guernsey. We’ve seen rapid growth in the fintech sector, and there’s more to come with Guernsey’s changes to digital asset regulation. Clients need clear, commercially focused advice to handle complex regulatory and transactional issues, and our team is committed to delivering that advice and helping clients seize new opportunities.”
Dilmun Leach, partner, Walkers CI LP, added: “Jersey’s Fintech practice reaching Band 1 again is a real endorsement of the work we’re doing. The market here is always moving, and our team is focused on helping clients take advantage of new opportunities. We’re committed to delivering the practical, cross-border expertise our clients rely on to get fintech deals done.”
