Linklaters today announces that leading antitrust lawyer Clara Ingen-Housz has been elected as a partner in its pan-Asian anti-trust practice, based in Hong Kong. Clara will join from Baker & McKenzie in early October.
Clara Ingen-Housz is widely recognised as a market-leading antitrust lawyer. With her extensive experience in the US, Europe and Asia (including China), she will support clients throughout the region in relation to all their antitrust needs. Her appointment will also enable the firm to expand its current focus on Chinese antitrust work and to develop a market-leading practice across Asia as a whole, including Hong Kong, where a new competition law is due to come into force shortly. She also brings a depth and breadth of expertise that will strengthen further the firm’s existing China competition practice, which will continue to be led by Fay Zhou and Cheng Yuan in Beijing.
Michael Cutting, head of Linklaters’ global Competition/Antitrust practice, said:
“Clara is a high-quality, commercially-focused and well-rounded antitrust lawyer whom we are delighted to welcome to our team. We look forward to working with her, Fay Zhou and Cheng Yuan to continue expanding our pan-Asian antitrust practice.”
Stuart Salt, Linklaters’ Regional Managing Partner for Asia, said:
“Given the increasing importance to our clients of Asia antitrust, developing a market-leading pan-Asian antitrust practice is a key part of the firm’s commitment to its relationships with clients globally. We are delighted that Clara will be joining us and we look forward to making further investment in this practice in the future.”
