King & Spalding has hired investigations and white-collar crime expert Richard Sharpe as a partner. With his addition, the number of partners at the firm's Singapore office is now 12.
With over 20 years of experience, Sharpe advises governments on business-related criminal matters, including bribery and corruption, money laundering, international sanctions, cybercrime, and other cross-border investigations.
He also guides global companies on investment-related international risk and the design and implementation of compliance programs. Additionally, he acts for clients on civil litigation and arbitrations arising from fraud and criminal misconduct and obtaining supporting ancillary relief.
Sharpe began his career as a barrister, focusing on the prosecution and defence of white-collar crime and civil asset recovery. In 2013, he relocated to Hong Kong to work with Clifford Chance and in 2018 joined Kirkland & Ellis.
