Campbell Lutyens opens Singapore office

It follows the opening of a Hong Kong office in 2010 and positions the company to grow its 15-strong Asia Pacific team. This footprint currently advises on $7.8 billion of transactions in the region across private equity, infrastructure and private debt.

"We are a global business, but we have never underestimated the importance of building relationships locally," Andrew Sealey, managing partner and CEO at Campbell Lutyens, said in a statement. "Our expansion in Asia Pacific reflects the importance of the region to the growth of Campbell Lutyens' business over the long term."

UK-headquartered Campbell Lutyens was founded in 1998 and now has six offices globally, including bases established earlier this year in Chicago and Los Angeles. In addition to its capital raising and secondary advisory practices, the firm also helps managers with GP-led liquidity and fund restructuring transactions.

Global intermediaries focused on private equity secondaries have been tentative but increasingly interested in entering what is perceived to be a growing Asian market. Recent activity on this front includes the appointment of Dominik Woessner, the former head of Greenhill Cogent's secondary advisory business in Asia, as Lazard's secondaries lead in the region.
