Allen & Overy has hired Charlotte Robins as a partner in its global financial services regulatory practice in Hong Kong from Norton Rose Fulbright.

Robins, who had been a partner at her previous firm for five years, focuses on acting for banks, securities and insurance firms as well as fund/asset managers on compliance with regulatory laws, codes and guidelines, cross-border issues, anti-money laundering concerns and data privacy.

Robins’s appointment comes amid a rapidly developing and complex global regulatory environment. “Our knowledge of multi-jurisdictional regulatory matters is what wins us strategic roles on headline deals. A&O is one of the few firms that offers top-tier expertise combined with local depth, spanning the U.S., Europe, Asia Pacific and the Middle East. The addition of Charlotte further enhances our position as a leading adviser to global financial institutions on complex, multi-jurisdictional financial services matters,” said Bob Penn, global head of the firm’s regulatory practice, in a statement.
