Singapore’s RHTLaw has established a transportation and logistics industry group after hiring Piyush Gupta as a partner from Ince, where he was the firm’s aviation and competition head in the city-state.  

Gupta spent about six months at Ince, prior to which he was at Indian law firm Kochhar & Co for nearly eight years. At the latter firm, he launched the firm’s competition and aviation practices, and was the resident partner in its Singapore office for close to four years.

With a practice focusing on corporate regulatory and finance and competition matters, Gupta advises international airlines, MROs, and OEMs.

Gupta is RHTLaw’s first lateral partner hire since it ended its eight-year alliance with Anglo-German law firm Taylor Wessing. RHT now has 20 partners.
