Nicholas Hanna has joined the Singapore office of K&L Gates, where he will be part of the firm’s corporate and M&A practices. He joins from Watson, Farley & Williams.

Hanna advises clients in the oil and gas, mining, energy, and resort sectors throughout the Asia Pacific region on complex contractual commercial disputes that focus on international trade, oil and gas, and intellectual property. He also advises on Main Market and AIM listings on the London Stock Exchange, capital raising and private equity transactions.

David KY Tang, K&L Gates’ managing partner, Asia, says that the hire of Hanna and that of corporate and commercial lawyer Lian Yok Tan, also in Singapore, reflects the firm’s increasing commitment to Southeast Asia.
