In a move to further expand its capital markets team in Asia, Linklaters announced on Thursday that Hong Kong partner Dean Lockhart will relocate to Singapore, and senior London partner Nigel Pridmore will transfer into Hong Kong next month.
These moves reflect the firm's increasing growth in Greater China, India, Korea, Indonesia, Singapore and in other regional markets in Asia.
Lockhart will transfer to Singapore during November and will take with him a team of associates from elsewhere in the Linklaters global network to join the existing team headed by partner Kevin Wong. While based in Singapore, Lockhart will continue to service deals throughout the region particularly in SE Asia and India.
Commenting on the moves, Linklaters' Asian Managing Partner Simon Davies announced that:
"The relocation within Asia of two of our most experienced capital markets partners is a significant move by us. We see strong growth continuing in Asia and these moves are designed to optimise our position in the Asian capital markets."
