Hogan Lovells has hired Nick Williams as a partner in the firm’s business restructuring practice in Singapore from K&L Gates.

The exit of Williams from K&L Gates follows the July departures of corporate partners Nicholas Hanna and Mark Tan, who joined Pinsent Masons’ transactional services group in Singapore.

Williams’ practice focuses on cross-border restructuring and insolvency market and he represents banks, financial institutions, hedge funds, private equity investors, insolvency accounting firms and corporate creditors and debtors. He is also experienced in investigations, commercial disputes and international arbitration.

The arrival of Williams will take the number of partners at Hogan Lovells’ Singapore office to eight.
