Norton Rose is beefing up its Asia-Pacific insurance business by relocating London corporate partner Anna Tipping to head the Singapore-based practice.

Tipping, formerly with Linklaters, built her practice in the insurance arena in both the life and general sectors of the market. She has led both capital markets and structured finance transactions as well as M&A – and has also covered regulatory advice, distribution arrangements, corporate insurance programmes, reinsurance and general commercial transactions.

According to Tipping, Asia-Pacific is a significant region for growth for the insurance industry and Singapore is an important financial hub and a bridge to the firm’s insurance business in Europe and the Middle East.ALB
