Corporate partner Neil Torpey, who was senior partner for Asia at Paul Hastings and chair of the firm’s Hong Kong office, has joined Baker Botts as a corporate partner in New York and Austin.

Torpey, who joined Baker Botts on Tuesday, said the Am Law 100 firm is a good fit for his practice because he does a considerable amount of work for private equity investors in digital infrastructure, which includes fiber networks, data center, telephone companies and cell towers.
