Lovells’ partnership has re-elected Crispin Rapinet as Asia and Middle East regional managing partner in a vote that closed today (17 June). He has also been handed another term on the top 10 UK firm’s international executive.

The re-election means Rapinet continues to have responsibility of the firm’s seven offices in Asia for another three-year period, with his latest term starting on the 27 July. He was first handed the mandate in July 2005, having previously served as managing partner for the City giant’s Hong Kong office.
