Milbank LLP has been recognized in the Asian Legal Business (ALB) 2025 M&A rankings across several jurisdictions, including its first-time ranking in the Philippines. The ALB annual rankings are compiled through research that includes firm submissions, Thomson Reuters M&A data, interviews, editorial resources, and market suggestions.
The firm was acknowledged for its work in Singapore International, Hong Kong, South Korea International, Philippines, Japan International, and China International markets.
According to ALB, “ALB’s annual Asia M&A Rankings identify and rank the top firms for M&A work across Asia, recognizing law firms that stand out in their respective jurisdictions for the quality of work, size and profile of deals, as well as clients.” The rankings cover major Asian markets such as China, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand and Vietnam.
Over the past year, Milbank has advised on significant transactions in the Asia-Pacific region. These include advising Actis on a $600 million investment into what is described as the world’s largest integrated renewables and energy storage project—also noted as the largest foreign direct investment for a greenfield infrastructure project in the Philippines. The firm also represented Telekom Malaysia on developing an up to 200MW AI-ready data center in Malaysia and acted for SK hynix regarding its $9 billion acquisition of Intel’s global SSD and NAND flash memory business.
