Law firm Stephenson Harwood has strengthened its international energy transition practice with the addition of a new team. Nick Dingemans and John Zadkovich join the firm as partners, while Lena Ow will be an associate. "The new team brings a wealth of experience that will be invaluable to our clients," said Tom Platts, head of M&A, Southeast Asia, Stephenson Harwood. "Their deep understanding of the energy transition and decarbonisation sector, combined with their strong client relationships, will enhance our service offering and drive strategic growth in Southeast Asia. In particular, Nick's decarbonisation experience adds real depth to the existing capabilities of our M&A practice." "The addition of Nick and John to the office underscores our commitment to providing top-tier legal services in the region," said Daryll Ng, Singapore office managing partner, Stephenson Harwood. "Since identifying decarbonisation as a key strategic priority of the firm, we have been actively pursuing senior hires in this space. It's unusual to be able to bring on board a team of such experienced and highly-regarded lawyers, and their existing track record working together, and the natural synergies between their contentious and non-contentious practices, is exciting for the firm at this time." "Our decarbonisation practice extends across our international network, with dedicated experts in London, Paris, Dubai, Singapore and Hong Kong," said Jonathan Cripps, head of decarbonisation, Stephenson Harwood. "Nick and John have exactly the skillset we need to take our offering to the next level, and their experience working across Europe, the Middle East and Southeast Asia brings a new depth to our practice. With Singapore's push to be at the fore of sustainability – notably through the Singapore Green Plan 2030 – now is the ideal time to be adding bench strength in the region."

For the first time, the DIFC Courts have provided welcome clarification on some of the issues generated by Decree No. 34 of 2021 and the fallout from the abolishment of the DIFC-LCIA and EMAC. This was provided in the landmark decision of Narciso v Nash, in which members of Stephenson Harwood's Dubai-based disputes team – partner Mark Lakin, managing associate Magda Kofluk, and associates Samantha Martin and Mayss Akasheh – acted for the Claimant. Commissioned by Global Arbitration Review, the team reports on this case in an article which delves into its merits and the important precedent it sets for how contractual reference to the superseded arbitration centres should be treated in future.

The UK Competition and Markets Authority recently published an important practical compliance guide to the fashion industry regarding 'greenwashing' to help it adhere to consumer law. The guidance is based on the CMA's Green Claims Code first published in 2021. On the same day, the CMA sent letters of concern to 17 well-known fashion brands advising them to review their sustainability claims amid an ongoing crackdown on greenwashing. Businesses making greenwashing claims will need to review their practices in line with the guidance ahead of the consumer protection powers of the CMA coming into full force next year. Stephenson Harwood's competition experts, Marta Isabel Garcia, Bryony Roy and Will S., summarise the latest guidance and the impact it will have in this useful briefing: https://lnkd.in/ePmfY4q3 #Decarbonisation

During the SuperReturn Asia 2024 conference, members of the corporate team Jay Tai, Yong Ren, Tom Platts, Jonathan Goacher and Sheetal Sandhu hosted clients and contacts at the firm's annual private equity dinner, creating an opportunity to discuss recent activity in the private equity sector. One trend identified was the continued surge in demand for legal support in the area of infrastructure investment (including AI and data centres) across Asia, in particular Japan, Korea and Southeast Asia, and the increasing role of private credit providing capital in this space. Attendees also noted that secondaries continue to be active given the demand for liquidity from LPs, and that the valuation gap has narrowed. In addition, PE firms are looking to bankruptcy restructurings as a way to identify potential investment opportunities. The evening provided a valuable opportunity for interesting conversations with leading figures in the private equity space. For more information on the topics discussed please reach out to a member of the team. #PrivateCapitalandFunds #PrivateEquity
