Milbank LLP Singapore-based partner Jacqueline Chan is featured in the 2023 M&A Outlook: Q&A with Twelve Top Global M&A Dealmakers, a report produced jointly by Ansarada and Mergermarket.
Ms. Chan discusses the challenges dealmakers faced in 2022 and how the energy transition is fueling M&A in Asia.
“There has been a shift towards energy transition and renewables for sure,” says Ms. Chan. “We’re observing PE firms, strategic buyers and infrastructure funds all focusing much more on the energy transition.”
Ms. Chan also addresses other key sectors that may drive activity in 2023. “Infrastructure is very active, whether it’s logistics, water, transport, and especially digital,” she says. “Other sectors that have been attractive for investors thus far, like health and education, continue to be so, however Asia has a limited range of targets available in those sectors.”
Regularly recognized as an exceptional leader and dealmaker by key industry publications, Ms. Chan advises on many of the most innovative, cutting-edge M&A and corporate finance transactions in the Asia region. Earlier this year she was named among Asia’s Top 15 Female Lawyers for 2022 by Asian Legal Business.
