Nelson will join King & Spalding from Herbert Smith Freehills in Singapore, where he is a partner and head of the firm's energy practice in Southeast Asia.

Commenting on the appointment, King & Spalding’s Ken Culotta, said: "Our firm's strategy calls for further investment in our energy practice, where we are already a leader in Asia and around the world. Richard has built an outstanding practice in all of the major energy markets in Southeast Asia, and as the region's leading energy M&A lawyer he perfectly complements our top-tier project development and finance capabilities. We are especially excited about the expertise Richard will offer our US-based energy clients investing in Asia."
