London-headquartered shipping firm Campbell Johnston Clark (CJC) has appointed veteran maritime lawyer Gareth Williams as a director in its Singapore office from HFW, where he was a partner.

Williams is the second HFW partner in Singapore to join CJC in a matter of weeks, following in the heels of Paul Apostolis, a former head of the former firm’s shipping practice in the city-state. 

CJC now has three directors in Singapore: Williams, Apostolis and Iain Short. Short, along with Choi Sung-hwan, helped open the Singapore office in 2014, before Choi moved to Norton Rose Fulbright as an of counsel. 

With a career spanning more than three decades, two of which were based in Greece, Williams has experience as a disputes resolution and contract lawyer in the fields of shipping and international trade shipbuilding contracts including total losses of vessels, groundings, collisions and fires, unsafe port and dangerous cargo claims, cargo loss, damage and contamination claims and commodity trading.

The recent weeks have also seen Andrew Gray join CJC’s London office as a partner from Clyde & Co in Singapore.

Apart from its Singapore office and London headquarters, CJC also has an office in Newcastle.
