Former Jones Day partner Raymond McKeeve has joined aviation focused investment firm Cingo Global.

He has joined the firm, which focuses on investments in the transport, infrastructure and luxury market, as group chief transaction and legal officer.

McKeeve left Jones Day at the beginning of January after seven years at the firm's London base.

According to his LinkedIn account, McKeeve also has a part-time role as senior advisor and non-executive director at San Francisco-based wealth management and financial advisory firm Azura Partners.

He has been the subject of a contempt of court case brought last year by online supermarket delivery service Ocado.

In December, a London High Court hearing investigated claims that he ordered the destruction of documents relating to an ongoing wider dispute between his client, Today Development Partners, and Ocado. According to court documents, McKeeve had self-referred to the Solictors Regulation Authority for his actions.

While at Jones Day, McKeeve's clients included Blackstone Group, CVC Capital Partners, and Robert Tchenguiz.

Commenting on McKeeve's hire, Cingo's chief executive officer Will Ashcroft said in a statement to Law.com International: "His experience has brought both the experience and depth we wanted at the top level in order to understand our transactions better. In the short time he's been on board he's made a positive impact both professionally as well as personally."
