Texas firm Locke Lord, which beefed up its international arbitration strength in Hong Kong earlier this year, has added another player in that practice area—Paul Neufeld, who will work in Houston and London.

Neufeld joined Locke Lord as a partner in the international arbitration practice group on Aug. 24, coming from Norton Rose Fulbright's Houston office.

Neufeld said he was attracted to Locke Lord because it is a collegial and service-oriented firm with an “incredible global reach.” He is licensed in the United States and the United Kingdom, and has “full rights of audience” in DIFC courts in Dubai, UAE, where he was formerly based.
