Clyde & Co grows energy, marine and natural resources practice in Singapore

Clyde & Co has announced the partner hire of Ton van den Bosch to further strengthen the firm’s global energy, marine and natural resources practice in Asia Pacific. He will support clients across the Asia Pacific region and beyond from the Singapore office.

Van den Bosch joins from Addleshaw Goddard, where he was managing partner of the Singapore office.

He is a corporate, restructuring and project development specialist with a strong focus on the energy, offshore, logistics, ports, transportation, infrastructure, agribusiness and terminals industries in frontier and emerging markets in Asia, the Gulf and in Africa.

“Ton’s expertise perfectly complements and further enhances our existing experience,” said Simon McConnell, partner and chair of the APAC Board. “We have been working for clients in the shipping, marine, and natural resources sectors in Asia Pacific for over three decades, and Ton’s hire will further strengthen our leading practice in the region and no doubt his extensive experience will be invaluable to clients here.”

Van den Bosch’s extensive ports and offshore expertise also bolsters Clyde & Co’s Asia Pacific team. The hire follows recent growth in Clyde & Co’s Singapore office, including therelocation of partner and marine insurance litigator Andrew Bicknell from London, the promotion to partner of insurance and reinsurance dispute resolution specialist Vanessa Lim, and the hire of corporate investigations, regulatory compliance and commercial disputes partner Weiyi Tan.

 “In my capacity as general counsel, I frequently worked with Clyde & Co, and I have always been impressed by their responsiveness, pragmatic approach and industry expertise,” said van den Bosch.
