UK-headquartered shipping-focused law firm Campbell Johnston Clark (CJC) has hired transaction lawyer Aik Hui Chua as a director in Singapore from Squire Patton Boggs, where she was a senior associate.

Chua advises financial institutions, sponsors, owners, and lessors on financing assets in maritime and offshore oil and gas sectors, including dual-fuel vessels, VLECs, dynamic positioning shuttle tankers, FPSOs and LNG carriers.

She has advised on secured, unsecured, ECA-backed, and sustainability-linked financings, pre-delivery financings, re-financings, sales and leasebacks, and JOLCOs. Prior to her time at Squire Patton Boggs, Chua served as in-house legal counsel in a maritime and port regulatory authority.

Chua’s addition means that CJC now has five directors in its Singapore office, which was established in 2014.
