Linklaters

Linklaters is a global law firm advising leading corporates, banks and private capital clients on complex legal matters across borders and practices. Its work spans capital markets, M&A, litigation and related fields, delivered as one integrated team operating in major financial and business centres, including the Americas and Hong Kong.

Recent cross-border matters illustrate the scale of the practice: the firm advised on Alibaba's HK$80bn share placing and on Prologis's recommended offer for SEGRO plc. Sector coverage includes banking and financial services, private capital, technology, healthcare and life sciences, capital markets, and real estate and logistics.

Innovation forms a stated part of the firm's agenda. Its Applied Intelligence initiative helps clients navigate the legal and operational implications of artificial intelligence, alongside its broader cross-border legal advisory services. The firm places emphasis on collaboration and comprehensive legal solutions.

The United States practice has been expanded through senior hires, including Mark Gordon as Americas managing partner and Erik Haas to the litigation team, drawing on Wall Street and in-house experience.
