U.K. firm Addleshaw Goddard's Singapore office head – litigation partner Jamie Harrison – will leave the firm in May to join the London Court of International Arbitration as a deputy director general.
At Addleshaws, Harrison focused on cross-border litigation and international arbitration in the energy, oil and gas, infrastructure and financial services sectors in southeast Asia, Africa and eastern Europe. He is also a fellow of the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators and a member of the panel of arbitrators at LCIA, Singapore International Arbitration Centre and Mumbai Centre for International Arbitration.
Harrison leaves Addleshaws after almost a decade at the firm. He joined in 2009 as a partner in London and served as the office's head of international arbitration. In 2012, Addleshaw opened an office in Singapore – its first overseas – and relocated Harrison to lead the office.
Previously, he was a London-based disputes partner at Winston & Strawn, and Morgan, Lewis & Bockius, and practised earlier in his career at Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer.
The departure of Harrison will leave the Singapore office with infrastructure and project development lawyer Ton van den Bosch as the sole partner, who joined the firm last month from Ince & Co, where he was of counsel. Van den Bosch is qualified both as a Dutch and English lawyer.
Addleshaw also saw partners in Hong Kong depart in recent years. Nigel Francis, who served as Asia head until 2018, left the firm last month and joined local firm YTL as a senior consultant. Brett Stewien, a former partner who co-founded the Hong Kong office with Francis in 2013, also left in November 2017 to launch a boutique firm with a pair of former Baker Botts lawyers.
Addleshaw's Hong Kong office currently has three partners: Asia head Bob Charlton, Hong Kong initial public offering specialist Daniel Wan, and corporate finance lawyer Andrew Yang. Corporate lawyer Lance Jiang, who joined Addleshaws last month from an in-house role at a Chinese investment company, will also be a partner after he qualifies in Hong Kong.
The U.K. firm is currently in growth mode in Asia after recruiting Charlton as Asia head last May. A magic circle veteran who had held similar regional management roles at legacy Berwin Leighton Paisner and DLA Piper, Charlton told The Asian Lawyer in October that he aims to grow Addleshaws' partner count in Asia to more than 10 by the end of 2021.
