Boutique legal firm Campbell Johnston Clark (CJC) has poached two HFW lawyers to beef up its Singapore team.

The London-headquartered shipping law firm said William Pyle has joined as a senior associate for Asia-Pacific, bringing with him "a wealth of experience" in advising protection and indemnity clubs, shipowners, managers, charterers, insurers, banks and other clients.

His practice focuses on marine casualties and he has advised on high-profile collisions, groundings and fires at sea, as well as contractual disputes and environmental claims.
