Jon Howes will join Clyde & Co as joint head of Asia-Pacific infrastructure, together with Sean Hardy who will be a partner at Clyde & Co Clasis Singapore.CLYDE & Co has made two key partner hires to its South-east Asia construction team based in Singapore, the global law firm told The Business Times on Wednesday.
“Asia-Pacific is set to be the fastest-growing infrastructure market for the foreseeable future, and claims and disputes are an inevitable part of an industry where big money is involved and margins are tight,” Mr McElveney told BT. Mr Howes has considerable experience in dispute resolution in the construction and engineering sectors, and in professional negligence actions for and against construction professionals. He specialises in domestic and international arbitrations, mediation, adjudication and expert determination.
“But, while we are experienced in handling disputes, a major focus is always on assisting clients in managing risk and resolving issues before they turn contentious,” he added.
