Jason Manketo – Linklaters LLP

Linklaters LLP remains a market-leading destination for domestic and international IPOs and secondary offerings, direct listings, private placements, and SPAC transactions, with both bank and issuer clients relying on the team’s deep-seated transactional and regulatory expertise. Having recently acted on several of the largest recent and ongoing UK IPOs, including those of CAB Payments and Raspberry Pi, the practice also serves as key point of contact for high-value infrastructure privatisations and IPOs on European and Middle Eastern exchanges. Jason Manketo is a key contact for international IPOs and de-SPACs along with Pam Shores, who additionally handles rights issues and block trade transactions for blue-chip clients. Shores co-heads the practice with James Wootton, whose practice encompasses ECM work as well as private and public M&A. Further key contacts include US securities expert Mike Bienenfeld as well as Asad Ahmed and Tom Thorne, who handle a diverse array of equities transactions. Former practice co-head John Lane has now retired, while Richard Spedding joined from Travers Smith LLP.
