Global firm Hogan Lovells has strengthened its capital markets offering in the Asia-Pacific with the recruitment of Phill Hall as a corporate and finance partner in Singapore.
“If we look at the nature of our clients globally, it is required of us as a globally integrated firm to have a lot more offerings. So it makes sense as part of a global strategy as well for Singapore in Southeast Asia, to be strong as part of a global offering,” Siew Kam Boon, Singapore office managing partner at Hogan Lovells, told Asia Business Law Journal.
Hall joins from Linklaters where he worked for more than 24 years and brings experience advising underwriters and issuers on a broad spectrum of international capital markets transactions. His practice covers jurisdictions across India, the wider Asia-Pacific region and Australasia, with expertise spanning convertible and exchangeable bonds, medium-term note programmes, Islamic finance, regulatory capital, perpetual securities, straight debt issues, liability management transactions, and covered, green and ESG bonds.
When asked about the firm’s recent hires in Southeast Asia, Boon said the decision was rooted in its commitment to being a global, integrated practice. “It’s a globally integrated firm,” she said, emphasising that their growth strategy is designed to support international clients wherever they operate. “That’s one reason why we have this growth up here.”
Hall’s appointment is part of the growth at the firm’s Singapore office this year, which has also welcomed Charmian Aw, Timothy Goh, Thomas Kim and Boon.
