Lovells has boosted its Asian construction & infrastructure practice with the appointment of Paul Teo, who joins as a consultant in the Singapore office.
Teo arrives from the Hong Kong office of Pinsent Masons and will advise on pre-contract matters and construction and engineering disputes. He will work alongside Lovells’ Singapore managing partner James Harris, who heads the Asian projects group, as well as the finance team in Southeast Asia.
“Paul’s practice is primarily in post contract work so he will be helping people on contracts and dispute resolution matters,” said Timothy Hill, head of the firm’s Asian engineering & construction projects group. “We’ve certainly seen an upturn in that area and growing strength in the regional infrastructure market.”
Both Lovells’ and Pinsent Masons’ construction practice is currently short listed for the Construction Law Firm of the Year Award 2009 at the ALB Hong Kong Law Awards in September. Click for more information or to reserve your seat.
