Co-headed by Alvin Ho and Dean Lewis , the 'highly collaborative and hands on' team at Pinsent Masons works well with in-house counsel, other relevant firmwide practice groups and construction practitioners throughout its international offices to provide an 'excellent service' for clients, including SOE contractors, in disputes and investment projects in Hong Kong, across APAC and beyond. Splitting his time between Beijing and Hong Kong, Mark Hu has excellent traction among Chinese contractor SOEs, which he regularly advises on large-scale outbound infrastructure projects, including his contract review and negotiation work in relation to the large-scale NEOM smart-city project in Saudi Arabia. Nicholas Turner and Bernard Ang 'have a detailed and focused approach' to dealing with construction projects throughout APAC, from procurement through to operational issues, with Turner having niche expertise advising major Korean contractors on energy and infrastructure projects. For contentious work, Mohammed Talib and Hinson Cheung , who are both qualified solicitor advocates in Hong Kong, continue to enhance their reputation in the field, including in relation to large-scale international arbitrations.
