Norton Rose has hired a new partner who will relocate to Singapore to head up the firm's local insurance practice.
Anna Tipping is set to join Norton Rose as a partner from Linklaters' City base, where she was a counsel.
She will spend six months in London working with the City-based corporate insurance team and getting to know the firm before relocating to Singapore later this year.
Tipping, a New Zealand national, has been a counsel with Linklaters since 2007, having joined the magic circle firm as managing associate in 2003 from Reed Smith. Her practice focuses on the insurance and financial services market, and she has experience advising on capital markets and structured finance transactions as well as M&A within the sector.
Norton Rose said it has seen a significant upturn in demand for advice in the insurance arena in the Asia-Pacific region, particularly after the firm obtained an Australian practice through its merger with Deacons, which went live earlier this year.
The firm has four corporate insurance associates in Singapore but no insurance partner.
Norton Rose insurance head James Bateson said: "We have a lot of insurance work in our Singapore office and we thought the time was right for a specialist partner to go out to lead the practice there. We have known Anna for years as we have many mutual clients who have spoken very highly of her for a long time."
