Charles Russell Speechlys has strengthened its presence in Singapore by bringing in two new disputes partners, Gavin Margetson and Henry Winter, from Mishcon de Reya. This move is part of the firm’s ongoing efforts to expand its capabilities in the private capital sector, a strategy that has involved multiple strategic hires in both Singapore and Hong Kong since April of last year. Margetson will bring his expertise in international arbitration, corporate crime, and cross-border litigation, while Winter’s background includes international commercial arbitration and cross-border dispute resolution.
The firm, under the leadership of Simon Green, head of Asia at Charles Russell Speechlys, is focusing on its private capital objectives and aims to boost its international practice revenue contribution to 30% from the current 25%. Singapore managing partner Jeffrey Lee emphasized that the hiring strategy aligns with client demands and the growing importance of the Singapore International Arbitration Centre.
