“The firm already handles the most complex construction and infrastructure disputes, both in Asia and globally, and the hub will further coordinate and focus that expertise,” said Shepherd.
“Working with the firm’s energy, projects, project finance, infrastructure and TMT teams, we will be able to support our clients at every stage of their projects, from inception to disputes.”
As a construction and infrastructure dispute resolution specialist, Shepherd understands the latest trends and techniques emerging across markets and industries. He has 30 years’ experience in arbitration and litigation in the infrastructure sector, solving clients’ problems from the firm’s offices in London, Hong Kong, Dubai, Tokyo and now Kuala Lumpur.
Shepherd will work closely with newly promoted Singapore disputes partner Daniel Waldek and a team of eight disputes lawyers and three paralegals in Kuala Lumpur to support the firm’s disputes specialists in China, Indonesia, Japan, Singapore, South Korea and Thailand, and globally.
“Asia’s projects and infrastructure markets remain strong, with Chinese, Japanese and Korean companies driving much of the investment within Asia and outbound into Europe, Latin America and Africa,” said Asia head of disputes for HSF, Simon Chapman QC.
