Norton Rose has appointed former Linklaters counsel Anna Tipping as a partner in its Singapore insurance practice.
Tipping is currently at the firm’s London office and will be transferred to Singapore later in the year, joining two other partners in the insurance practice.
The firm said that the appointment responds to increased activity seen in the Asia-Pacific insurance industry: “The Asia Pacific markets will be significant areas of growth for the insurance industry over the medium term and having specialist corporate insurance capability in Singapore will enable us to capitalise on the opportunities which we believe this growth will present,” said corporate insurance partner David Whear.
The appointment follows the transfer of two partners – Andrew Abernethy from Dubai and Shaun McRobert from Perth – to the firm’s Hong Kong office.
