Pinsent Masons has lost a partner in Hong Kong, with construction disputes specialist Paul Teo set to relocate to Singapore to join Lovells.

Teo joins the top 10 UK law firm later this month, where he will be part of the infrastructure and construction group and the office's arbitration practice.

Teo, who joins Lovells as a consultant rather than a partner, is a Singapore native but has been based in Pinsents' Hong Kong office. He joined Pinsents in October 2000 and was promoted to partner last year.
