Duncan Walker continues to lead the Broadfield UK (formerly BDB Pitmans) team in Cambridge corporate and commercial team.

He is part of the wider team of lawyers including charities, employment (including immigration), litigation, private wealth and real estate (both commercial and residential) helping to grow the Cambridge office.
