Career
Richard is the lead partner of the firm’s Projects & Infrastructure practice and co-heads the Energy practice.
Richard acts for a range of stakeholders in relation to end-to-end project development in various industries, from large-scale social, transport and utilities infrastructure to commercial and residential developments. He has particular expertise in the energy sector, having been involved in major projects for energy production and generation, supply and storage, and consumption, and is recognised by Asialaw as being “knowledgeable in the power industry”. Richard’s extensive experience with both conventional and renewable energy makes him well-placed to advise clients on energy transition and environmental, social and governance (ESG) commitments, including decarbonization, renewable energy projects, and green mobility.
His practice covers a wide range of advisory and drafting services for all stages of the project lifecycle, and he frequently represents clients on complex and interdependent project agreements involving concessions, power purchase, construction (build-only and EPCCs), operations and maintenance, and fuel and utilities supply. Richard also advises on project structuring, tender processes, and project implementation and is viewed by Legal 500 Asia Pacific as “a name to note, particularly for advice on commercial elements of construction projects”.
