Wikborg Rein has hired shipping/offshore lawyer Siri Wennevik as a partner in its Singapore office. Wennevik joins from the Oslo office of Norwegian law firm Thommessen.

Wennevik has represented both borrowers and lenders in a number of transactions for Norwegian and international clients.  Her work covers commercial and financing shipping and offshore work, including syndicated facilities and bond financing, and she is particularly experienced in asset, project, and cross-border financings.

“Siri is an important addition to our growing body of expertise in Singapore, helping us provide legal advice to clients in Singapore and elsewhere in Asia, interacting with our other Asian offices in Kobe and Shanghai as well as elsewhere in the world,” said Per M. Ristvedt, managing partner of Wikborg Rein in Singapore, in a statement.
