Geographic Expansion
AsiaLinklaters aggressively expanding US presence with doubled US revenue and quadrupled profit over 4 years; opened new offices in Shanghai and Singapore; US partnership grown to ~55 partners
Leadership read: Market entry is a leadership problem before it is a logistics one. Linklaters moving into new ground in the sector deepens demand for in-region leaders who can localise the model without diluting it. Across Asia, watch whether senior in-market leadership is appointed early; expansions run remotely rarely hold.
