Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher has hired Brad Roach as a partner at its Singapore office from Hogan Lovells, where he led the firm’s Southeast Asia oil and gas practice.

Roach, who was previously with Skadden Arps and White & Case, advises developers of energy and infrastructure projects, with an emphasis on upstream and downstream sectors of the petroleum industry.  He has particular expertise in the development and financing of LNG projects, and has advised the sponsors of several greenfield LNG projects in Asia and the Middle East. Roach’s clients include MedcoEnergi, Murphy Oil Corp, Talisman Energy, Mitra Energy, LNG Japan Corp, Salamander Energy, and PT Saka Energi Indonesia.

“Based in Singapore for more than 15 years, Brad is highly regarded by clients and peers,” said Jai Pathak, partner-in-charge of Gibson Dunn’s Singapore office, in a statement. “Asia, and Indonesia especially, is poised for significant investments in energy and infrastructure.  Given his extensive experience in the area, Brad will be an invaluable asset to our clients and help us take our regional and firmwide energy practice to the next level.”
