Ashurst LLP experienced considerable change in 2023 with the departure of a team led by four partners, including Daniel Reinbott, to the newly launched Singapore office of Baker Botts L.L.P. The firm has sought to replenish its senior ranks with the hire of former Shearman & Sterling LLP Singapore office managing partner Jean-Louis Neves Mandelli and former counsel Scott Baggett, who has joined as a partner. The UK-headquartered firm’s Singapore office has historically enjoyed a strong reputation in LNG and the wider oil and gas sector. The new team provides further expertise in energy transition projects, including gas-to-power, renewables, carbon capture and storage. It has strong links to sponsors, lenders and funds. Alfred Ng provides further senior expertise in energy sector financings, including project finance and acquisition finance.
