Hogan Lovells has hired Alexander McMyn as a banking partner in Singapore as it looks to bolster its finance practice in Southeast Asia. McMyn joins from Linklaters.
McMyn has advised financial institutions and companies on banking, structured finance and asset finance transactions, with a focus on inbound and outbound investments in Southeast Asia, including Indonesia and India. Recently, he advised the arrangers on the $6 billion facilities made available to Vedanta Resources for the $9 billion acquisition of Cairn India.
The hire of McMyn is the latest addition to Hogan Lovells’ Singapore office, coming shortly after project finance partner Bruce Schulberg was hired from Clifford Chance in Beijing, and debt capital markets partner Andrew Carey was relocated from London.
“Our objective is to develop a top tier practice in key transactional and contentious areas to support our clients' businesses across the region,” said Crispin Rapinet, Hogan Lovell’s Asia and Middle East regional managing partner, in a statement. “Consolidating our profile as a leading finance practice in Singapore, particularly our banking practice, is critical to achieving this objective.”
McMyn has been based in Singapore since 2008, when he relocated from Linklaters’ London office.
