Corporate lawyer Paul Westover has joined Thai firm LawPlus as a partner in Bangkok from Stephenson Harwood, where he previously led the Greater China corporate group.

Westover spent about 25 years at Stephenson Harwood in two spells on either side of a stint at Hong Kong’s Tanner de Witt between 2005 and 2010. He advises on corporate/commercial matters in Asia with a focus on mergers and acquisitions, specifically cross border, joint ventures, private equity and inward investment into the region.

With the addition of Westover, LawPlus currently has seven partners. Besides Westover, the firm has recently hired Ravipat Mullijarupongs as a senior associate, and Warit Lertwuthisart, Sitanan Bhumichitr and Kawalee Techasupatkul as associates.
