Hong Kong Partner Selected for Prestigious Private Equity “Thirty Under 40” List

Private Equity International has selected Hong Kong corporate partner Amy Beckingham for its 2017 “Thirty Under 40" lawyers' list. The honorees were chosen from an international group of “high-achieving lawyers under the age of 40” based on “their career progress, their client base, notable work to date and their X Factor.”

Beckingham advises private equity and other financial investor clients in public and private M&A transactions, private equity exits as well as joint ventures. The magazine noted that she has earned recognition for “her commercial acumen, technical skills and entrepreneurial drive,” describing her as a “hands-on” contributor to the growth of Latham & Watkins’ private equity practice in Asia. Her recent deal work includes Warburg Pincus and KKR’s Series D investment in GO-JEK, marking the largest single-round fundraising for a Southeast Asian technology company. Private Equity International also noted that Beckingham “supports the firm’s diversity initiatives and is the Asia representative on the global steering committee for Women Enriching Business, a firm committee designed to address the business challenges and opportunities unique to women.”
