Caymans-headquartered law firm Campbells has hired banking and finance expert Paul Trewartha as a partner in Hong Kong from rival offshore firm Mourant.

Trewartha advises on debt finance, structured finance, and debt capital market transactions, including take-private financings, private capital investment, margin loans, structured product issuances, OTC derivatives, acquisition and leveraged finance, asset finance, fund finance and general corporate lending and bond issuances.

Trewartha spent nearly a decade at Mourant, joining the firm after a two-year in-house stint at Morgan Stanley. He began his career at the Australian law firm Clayton Utz.

“Paul and I previously worked together for a number of years, and I’m excited that he has now decided to join me and the rest of the team at Campbells,” said Shaun Folpp, Campbells’ Hong Kong managing partner, in a statement. “Despite challenging market conditions, the team continues to grow across all practice areas, and I expect that growth to continue going forward. Paul is a fantastic addition to the team.”

Campbells now has 13 lawyers in its Hong Kong office, including six partners.
