Mayer Brown JSM, which opened its Singapore office last year, has strengthened its projects offering there with the hire of Nathan Dodd as a partner from Linklaters.

Dodd has more than 13 years of experience in the Asian legal market, with emphasis on the energy, natural resources, and infrastructure sectors. His experience includes major project development transactions in Southeast Asia, South Asia, and Africa.

"We are pleased to have Nathan join this growing team,” said Kevin Owen, partner-in-charge of Mayer Brown JSM’s Singapore office, in a statement. “ A talented and seasoned practitioner, he will spearhead our projects group in Singapore, with a primary focus on the power, mining and infrastructure sectors in Asia, which are the areas with great potential in this part of the world."

Dodd joined Linklaters in London in 1997, and moved to Singapore in 1999.
