Strengthening Regional Advisory

Alun Evans will rejoin Linklaters' Singapore corporate practice as a partner, effective mid-August. This appointment strengthens the firm's regional advisory capabilities for complex transactions. Mr. Evans will focus on cross-border mergers and acquisitions (M&A), a critical area for companies expanding within Asia.

He also brings expertise in private capital and infrastructure transactions, supporting significant investment flows into the region. This hire underscores Linklaters' strategic commitment to its growth markets in Southeast Asia and India.

Targeting Southeast Asia and India

Mr. Evans previously served with Linklaters' corporate team, ensuring continuity and deep understanding of firm culture and client needs. His background includes extensive work across the specified sectors, providing seasoned counsel for intricate deal structures.

The mandate specifically targets Southeast Asia and India, reflecting these regions' increasing importance for global capital deployment. Linklaters aims to capitalise on the rising demand for sophisticated legal advice, particularly for high-value private equity and infrastructure projects.

Why it matters

This strategic recruitment demonstrates Linklaters' bullish outlook for Asian M&A and private capital activity. Businesses in Southeast Asia and India can anticipate enhanced legal support for their strategic initiatives, including market entry and consolidation.

Private capital funds allocating capital across these dynamic markets will benefit from expanded advisory capacity, navigating local regulatory landscapes. The move reflects sustained investor confidence in Asia's growing economies and highlights the competitive environment for top-tier legal talent.
