Herbert Smith Freehills will relocate energy partner David Clinch from Hong Kong to Singapore as it looks to boost its Southeast Asia energy practice.  

Clinch has worked for more than 17 years in Asia offices, including Singapore. His practice includes acquisitions and disposals, project development, project finance, joint ventures and off-take arrangements within the oil and gas, power, mining, refining, chemical and infrastructure sectors.
