Ton van den Bosch has joined global law firm Clyde & Co from Addleshaw Goddard, where he was the firm’s Singapore managing partner
Remaining in Singapore, Van den Bosch “will further strengthen the firm’s global energy, marine and natural resources practice in Asia Pacific”, Clyde & Co said on Tuesday.
Van den Bosch is described as 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 Middle East Gulf and Africa.
The legal veteran is dual qualified in England and Wales and in the Netherlands, with international experience gained in Singapore, Jakarta, New York, Amsterdam and Manila, both in private practice and several years in-house, including as general counsel of container terminal operator International Container Terminal Services International and, prior to that, as general counsel of a global FPSO and oil and gas contractor Bluewater Energy Services.
Commenting on his decision to join Clyde & Co, Van den Bosch said: “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. Clyde & Co is a leader in the energy, transportation, commodities, logistics and ports space. It is an obvious fit that will provide great opportunities for our clients.”
Clyde & Co’s recent strengthening of its Singapore office has seen the relocation 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.
