Norton Rose has hired Barclays Capital in-house lawyer Dean Naumowicz as a partner in its international securities team, bringing the number of partners hired in the department to four in just over a year.
Naumowicz was a director at Barclays Capital and focuses on derivatives, with experience in emerging markets.
The hire brings the total number of partners in the international securitisation team to five.
Naumowicz will work alongside former Lovells derivatives and securitisation partner Laurence Garside, who joined last August; Tak Matsuda, who joined as a debt capital markets partner from Allen & Overy (A&O) last September; and structured finance and securitisation partner Sandrine Sauvel, who joined from Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer in November.
He worked with both Matsuda and Sauvel as an associate at A&O and Freshfields before joining Barclays Capital in November last year. His former clients include Northern Rock, Citi-bank and HSBC.
The firm will be hoping that Naumowicz' links with Barclays Capital – also a former client of Garside – will improve its relations with the investment bank, whose panel Norton Rose is on.
The hire means that the firm has now replaced the four-partner securitisation team led by Jonathan Walsh that departed for Baker & McKenzie last September.
Global head of banking Stephen Parish, who has been leading the drive to rebuild the firm's securitisation capability, initially laid down a blueprint under which the firm would make four lateral hires and two internal promotions.
However, it is understood that further lateral hires are likely to follow.
