Chris Redden is the new banking partner in the energy & infrastructure team of Norton Rose in Hong Kong. He joins the firm from Clayton Utz in Sydney following six years with Linklaters in London.
Redden has experience across the energy, infrastructure and project finance sectors and has acted for both lenders and sponsors. Norton Rose will also benefit from Redden’s expertise with international debt financing and projects work. “We have been looking to boost this area for some time… this represents an important step in building our regional projects team,” said Peter Haslam, head of the Hong Kong banking & finance team.
This appointment follows several new additions to the global Norton Rose team. Earlier this month Norton Rose announced the appointment of dispute resolution partner Donald Warnock to the construction and infrastructure team, Ian Lopez as the new corporate finance partner in the communications, media and technology team and Mélanie Thill-Tayara as the new partner and head of its competition, regulatory and EU capability practice in Paris.
Norton Rose seems to be in the ascendant. Just two months ago it announced a merger with Australian firm Deacons that added 461* lawyers to its Asia-Pacific capability.
