Moving in-house: HSBC and Shell make top-level appointments to legal teams

updated on 14 February 2014

Prominent in-house appointments have made the news this month, with Royal Dutch Shell naming Donny Ching as its new legal director and HSBC Holdings hiring Shawn Chen to lead its global litigation and regulatory affairs group.

As The Lawyer reported, Ching’s appointment at Shell followed the unexpected departure of legal director Peter Rees QC. Ching leaves his current role as general counsel for Shell’s project and technology group; to date, he has held positions within the business in Hong Kong, London, Qatar, Singapore and, most recently, the Netherlands.

Meanwhile, HSBC’s most recent hire is Cleary Gottlieb Steen & Hamilton partner, Shawn Chen. Chen - currently based in Washington - will work alongside Guy Nielson, head of litigation global banking and markets. The duo will report to the bank’s chief legal officer, Stuart Levey.

Students interested in pursuing a career as an in-house lawyer can read more about the opportunities available in our feature. To find out which law firms offer client secondments with banks and other clients - a valuable chance to assess whether an in-house career is right for you - see our recent feature and LC.N Insight tool.
