Hogan Lovells Lee & Lee has hired Kent Phillips as a partner in its litigation and arbitration practice from Berwin Leighton Paisner, where he was the co-head of its international arbitration practice.

Phillips, who had stints at Linklaters, Winston & Strawn and Addleshaw Goddard before joining BLP, is experienced as counsel and as arbitrator, particularly in the energy sector – including projects and construction – and also in financial services. Cases handled by him include the high-profile Berezovsky litigation in England.

“The team here in Singapore is genuinely excited about Kent joining. I think he is going to be a great fit, and I have no doubt with him on board he will take the arbitration practice to the next level,” said Maurice Burke, head of Southeast Asia dispute resolution at Hogan Lovells Lee & Lee, in a statement.
