Clifford Chance today announces that it is enhancing the global profile of its Corporate practice with the relocation of two senior partners to key offices in its international network – Simon Clinton, currently head of the Corporate practice in the Middle East, will be moving to Singapore at the start of 2011 and London partner Guy Norman will be seconded to Dubai from the end of October.
Simon and Guy are both highly regarded in their respective markets with strong track records in advising some of the Firm’s most important clients on major transactional and advisory mandates. Their relocations follow the recent moves of Nigel Wellings and Tim Plews to Dubai and Riyadh, and the relocation of Nick Munday and Nick Rees to Moscow.
Matthew Layton, head of Clifford Chance’s Corporate practice comments:
“As a global practice, it is essential that we focus our resources to reflect the evolving demands of the global market. This underlies our increasing emphasis on partner mobility. Dubai and Singapore continue to gain importance as economic hubs and that has created robust client demand in those regions for experienced partners with strong connections across international markets.
“In Singapore, Simon returns to a fast-growing office at the heart of a dynamic region that he knows well, having spent 10 years there in the 1990s. Singapore is the Firm’s regional headquarters for South East Asia, particularly Indonesia, Malaysia, Vietnam and India. Over 30 years, our Corporate team has built an excellent reputation with strengths in M&A, private equity and funds establishment. Simon’s presence in Singapore will further support the continued expansion of our practice in South East Asia during the current rapid growth of Asian markets.”
“From Dubai, Guy will continue to maintain his strong links with his existing client relationships and the practice in London. Guy will also work with the other partners in the region to build further upon the important client relationships that Simon and other partners have forged for us across the Middle East. With his excellent reputation in the investment banking community, he will be play a leading role in the development of the Firm’s global Corporate practice, taking the Gulf as the launch-pad for wider international initiatives.”
From Singapore, Simon will also continue to lead the Firm’s global sovereign wealth sector group.
