Clyde & Co global aviation finance head Paul Jebely has resigned from the firm.
Jebely (pictured) joined Clyde & Co's Hong Kong office from Ashurst in 2011, initially heading the firm's Asia aviation finance group.
Jebely's practice focuses on international commercial and business aircraft and engine financing, leasing and trading transactions, and in advising in respect of various enforcement and repossession situations.
He previously headed Ashurst's Asia, Middle East and Africa aviation group.
The firm is yet to appoint a new global head of the practice.
A spokesperson for Clyde & Co said: "We wish him well with the next phase of his career."
The news of Jebely's exit comes as the firm hired DLA Piper hospitality and real estate partner Benjamin Hirasawa as Asia-Pacific head of hospitality.
Hirasawa is re-locating to Singapore to join Clyde's office in the city-state along with DLA senior associate Jonathan Lynch who headed DLA Piper's Myanmar desk.
Clyde & Co has made a series of hires in Asia-Pacific in recent months. Earlier this month the firm added a four lawyer team from Norton Rose Fulbright in Australia.
In December the firm made headlines raiding Sydney insurance firm Lee & Lyons for a 30-lawyer team.
Internationally Clyde & Co has seen a number of departures from the firm. Watson Farley hired London corporate partner Nigel Taylor in October, while corporate partner Andy Tromans joined Willkie Farr & Gallagher in the City.
In November DLA Piper hired the firm's Asia-Pacific projects and financial transactions head Michael Horn in Singapore.
Horn also lead the firm's Indonesia practice and headed the Myanmar practice.
In an interview with Legal Week last year, senior partner James Burns said the firm was looking to more than double its size over the next 10 years, setting out a bullish international expansion programme targeting the Americas, Europe the Middle East and Africa.
