Asia-based hiring streak extends the firm’s financial services, asset and wealth management, transaction tax and tax technology capabilities 

Hong Kong, May 29, 2025-. Alvarez & Marsal Tax, (A&M Tax), an affiliate of leading global professional services firm Alvarez & Marsal (A&M), continues to dominate the talent marketplace with top-tier appointments of Asia-based tax professionals. The firm is aggressively growing the business via scale and scope to best support clients wanting to unlock value and mitigate risk amidst ongoing economic volatility. The additional hiring of Managing Directors (MDs) Rohit Narula and Adam Williams in Hong Kong; Mriganko Mukherjee, Mark Bennett and Neha Shah in Singapore; and Vishal Hakani in India showcases A&M’s commitment to building a world-class Asia Pacific tax advisory practice. The recent Asia-based hiring streak augments the firm’s financial services, asset and wealth management, transaction tax and tax technology capabilities.

As with the numerous Tax MDs announced earlier this year across the region, these new joiners bring experience and reputational excellence from longstanding careers with leading professional services firms. With the addition of exceptional talent in Hong Kong, Singapore, India, and upcoming expansions in Thailand, and Indonesia, A&M is set to redefine the tax advisory landscape in Asia.

Ernesto “Ernie” Perez, Managing Director and A&M Global Tax practice Leader, commented, “We are building a global platform, fit to support growing demand from clients broaching shifting business models, fast paced change, an increased number of international transactions, and evolving geopolitical dynamics. Moreover, we are confident that we are attracting the best-in-class talent to tackle complexities and uncertainty around tax laws. APAC is a critical jurisdiction in our ongoing growth journey and ripe with opportunity as the market seeks premier advisory services. We offer the added benefit of an integrated, multi-disciplinary firm, free from audit conflict. Coupled with the leadership provided by James Badenach, Managing Director and Head of A&M Tax APAC (excluding Australia), we are seeing remarkable results, attracting outstanding talent and securing a competitive advantage by bringing clients a truly differentiated offering.”

James noted, “Almost two thirds of the world's population is in APAC, with close to 690 million people in Southeast Asia alone. Acknowledging the significance of this market and the clients' need for actionable outcomes to achieve sustainable profitability, we have expanded our presence in strategic sectors. This includes appointing 20 Asia Tax Managing Directors, alongside nearly 30 Managing Directors in Australia last year. Our local team of 250 tax professionals is just the beginning, as we are poised for continued investments both in new country entry and talent expansion to transform the market.”
