International law firm Walkers has appointed Kate Storey as partner in its Guernsey practice.
Storey will lead its Guernsey insurance team and will also be responsible for continuing her complementary finance, corporate and investment fund practices.
Previously, Storey spent almost five years as partner at Appleby’s Guernsey practice.
Storey will be discussing substance in the insurance industry at the Guernsey Insurance Forum, which is being held in London on 11 October.
Louise Hall, Walkers Guernsey managing partner, said the firm was delighted about the addition of Storey.
Hall commented: “Kate Storey brings with her a great deal of experience in a number of specialist areas which complement the existing practice areas of the department.”
“In addition, her recognised expertise in Guernsey insurance law and regulation will also enable us to meet client demands in an area which continues to be incredibly buoyant for Guernsey as an international finance jurisdiction."
Storey stated: “I chose to join Walkers because it is expanding heavily in the Channel Islands and is already the biggest global offshore law firm.”
“Walkers provides Bermuda, British Virgin Islands, Cayman Islands, Irish and Guernsey law advice on all insurance matters on a global basis.”
