Gregory joins a team of 15 partners and another 55 fee-earners across BCLP’s Singapore, Hong Kong and China offices.

Asia Managing Partner Andrew MacGeoch commented: “We would like to extend a warm welcome to Dominic who will play an integral role in growing BCLP’s market share in Asia, especially in lending and project finance. With his cross-border experience, Dominic will significantly contribute to strengthening our Hong Kong and Singapore hub, re-energizing our current services to key regional jurisdictions and clients within the Asian market.”
Gregory added: “I am excited to join BCLP. The firm is working on some sizeable mandates across Asia which require debt financing. For example, they are instructed on some of the largest transactions in the Taiwan offshore wind industry and a number of hotel, casino and other energy and infrastructure development projects across Asia. I have broad and relevant experience in debt finance work so this is a great opportunity.”
