King & Spalding has recruited international arbitration and construction expert Peter Megens as a partner in its Singapore office. Megens will join King & Spalding from King & Wood Mallesons in Melbourne where he is co-head of the arbitration practice and a senior member of the construction team. Megens is expected to arrive at King & Spalding in July.
“Our firm has made a strategic decision to invest further in our marquee international arbitration practice, and especially in our international construction disputes capability,” said Reggie Smith, leader of global disputes at King & Spalding. “Peter’s stature as an outstanding construction disputes lawyer fits this bill, and nicely complements our world-class commercial and investment treaty arbitration practice serving the Asia-Pacific region from Singapore.”
