Walkers' Channel Islands listings team has increased its
market share in listings on The International Stock Exchange
("TISE") and climbed into the top three listings sponsors
having more than doubled the number of listings it advised on in
the last 12 months.
The Jersey and Guernsey-based team led by senior counsel Christophe
Kalinauckas was the only one of the leading players to increase the
number of listings that it advised and acted on in 2019, against
the backdrop of a decrease in overall listings figures on TISE
after the record performance in 2018.
The team was boosted in 2019 by the arrivals of listings manager
Grace Pickering in the Jersey office, and listings assistant Anna
Slusarczyk in the Guernsey office, both of whom previously worked
for TISE and who have brought with them significant technical
expertise.
Those new arrivals are part of the overall strategic growth in the
Channel Islands offices across 2019 which is continuing this
year.
The 2019 arrivals included partner Nigel Sanders, group partners
Rajah Abusrewil and Leanne Wallser and senior counsel Zoe Hallam,
Jon Le Rossignol and Tristan Maultby amongst others in a 50% rise
in legal headcount over 12 months.
Christophe said that the listings work was continuing with a
healthy pipeline running into 2020, including green securities,
securitisation structures, high yield bonds and private equity
acquisition finance work.
He said: "It's very pleasing to see that having more than
doubled the number of listings that we advised on in 2019, we are
continuing to win work and build market share, and we are already
on track to continue that growth in 2020.
"The growth in our team in Jersey and Guernsey has enabled us
to offer an even more responsive service, and bringing onboard team
members with recent first-hand knowledge of TISE procedures and
processes has been extremely valuable. This has been welcomed by
our issuers and their advisers alike."
