Longtime Paul Hastings partner Bretton King in Hong Kong has left the firm and relocated to Miami to move in-house – the latest in a string of partner departures in Hong Kong and China.
King joins Nexwell, a Miami-based investment firm that focuses on solar power and other decarbonising projects, as chief legal officer and managing director. Nexwell was launched earlier this year by Andreas Mustad and Pablo Pulido, the former chief executive officer and global business development head, respectively, of European solar power producer and J.P. Morgan subsidiary Sonnedix Group – a client of King's.
At Paul Hastings, King's practice focused on general corporate matters, mergers and acquisitions, and banking and finance. In 2014, King represented Sonnedix in the establishment of a joint venture with J.P. Morgan Asset Management. The asset manager eventually acquired the solar power producer in 2016, with Paul Hastings also representing Sonnedix on that deal.
