Former CC partner completes Norton Rose move as firm continues recent recruitment
Norton Rose has bolstered its City capital markets practice with the hire of former Clifford Chance (CC) partner Kate Alliott.
Alliott is due to join the top 10 City firm in early December after seven years as a partner with CC's London capital markets practice.
Her practice focuses on debt capital markets and structured finance with a specialisation in project bonds, infrastructure and structure bond financings. She has acted for sponsors, issuers and arrangers and while at CC worked with clients including monoline insurer Ambac.
The hire of Alliott (pictured) will take Norton Rose's City capital markets practice to six partners, with 19 partners worldwide.
Her hire marks the third significant boost for the London office in as many months, following additions to its disputes and corporate finance practices including Donald Warnock and Ian Lopez from Eversheds and Allen & Overy respectively.
Commenting on Alliott's addition, global banking chief Jeremy Edwards said: "There is a good link between the work Kate has done and the clients she's worked for and our headlights in energy and infrastructure, plus our strong funds practice. Of course, we have some clients in common, but Kate will also be working with existing Norton Rose clients to expand the business we can do for them. Kate's arrival will also give further critical mass to our specialist structured finance team."
Alliott added: "Norton Rose has a relatively small debt capital markets team but it has one of the biggest energy and infrastructure practices. My experience of financing projects and utilities through the capital markets will, I hope, add additional range and depth to the existing structured finance products currently offered by the group."
Norton Rose has also been expanding internationally, with additions this year including a four-lawyer team from Salans to relaunch its French competition practice and a seven-lawyer team from Barlow Lyde & Gilbert in Hong Kong.
