King & Spalding has hired banking and finance expert Andrew Brereton as a partner in its corporate, finance and investments practice in Singapore from Clifford Chance, where he spent nearly two decades.

Brereton’s departure comes nearly a year after Clifford Chance lost Lee Taylor to King & Spalding in Singapore. Taylor, who also spent two decades at Clifford Chance, joined King & Spalding as the head of that firm’s Asia-Pacific corporate practice.

Brereton’s areas of focus include acquisition finance, structured lending, syndicated loans, reserve-based financing.
