Mark Lewis, Walkers’ partner responsible for the firm’s marketing functions, said he is particularly proud that the department is comprised entirely of Caymanians.
“Walkers is an excellent example of a firm that actively recruits talented Caymanians and fosters their professional development,” he said.
