Interpath has entered the Asia-Pacific market, with the launch of operations in Hong Kong. The new outpost will be led by experienced restructuring and M&A advisor, Fergal Power.
Mark Raddan, group CEO of Interpath, commented, “With Hong Kong’s long-standing reputation as Asia’s top financial centre, and in particular as a global restructuring and M&A hub, it is the ideal location from which to launch our business in the region.”
Raddan added that “from day one, our ambition has been to establish a significant presence in all of the leading financial centres across the globe”. The arrival of Interpath in Hong Kong marks the first step in Interpath’s ambitious expansion into Asia-Pacific, with the firm set to rapidly establish a market-leading presence in this dynamic market with the provision of best-in-class advisory and restructuring services.
The new Hong Kong office will be headed up by Fergal Power. Joining Interpath as managing director and CEO of its operations in Asia-Pacific, he was formerly a partner at KPMG China, and brings over 25 years’ experience in restructuring, insolvency, and banking advisory across the Asia Pacific region.
Power added, ““Having watched Interpath’s growth journey from afar, I couldn’t be more excited to join the firm and help drive its expansion into Asia-Pacific. The strength of ambition and the pace at which the firm is growing is frankly remarkable. I see enormous opportunity for growth, not just in terms of establishing a full-service advisory and restructuring platform here in Hong Kong, but also in terms of the power of collaboration with Interpath’s teams in London, mainland Europe and offshore in Bermuda and the Caribbean.”
In his new role, Power will be responsible for building out the firm’s advisory and restructuring capabilities in Hong Kong, as well as supporting Interpath’s group CEO and wider executive leadership team to further expand Interpath’s geographic footprint into additional territories across the region.
Interpath currently employs approximately 1,000 people based across 28 offices in the UK, Ireland, France, Germany, Spain, Austria, Bermuda, BVI and Cayman Islands. By 2030, the firm aims to be one of the world’s leading financial advisory firms with a truly global office footprint.
