Wotton + Kearney eyes Singapore for regional office

The Singapore practice will be led by Ben Nicholson.

Wotton + Kearney has expanded its reach by establishing its first mainland Asia office in Singapore, recognising the city-state as a crucial hub for the insurance and reinsurance markets. 

This strategic move will enable the firm to better serve the growing Infrastructure, Power Gen, and Renewable Energy sectors across the region, with the Singapore office set to open in June.

“Our move to Singapore reflects the global nature of the insurance industry and the importance of Singapore as a regional insurance hub. Our growth has always been client driven and we know that an expanded Asian offering will make us a better business partner for our insurer clients which provide insurance to businesses across the region,’’ David Kearney, Chief Executive Partner of Wotton + Kearney said in a press release.

The new Singapore practice will be led by Ben Nicholson, a seasoned insurance and reinsurance lawyer, along with partner Tom Morrison, both bringing extensive experience in property, energy, engineering, and infrastructure risks. 

Adam Chylek, Head of Property, Energy, and Infrastructure at Wotton + Kearney, emphasized Singapore's role as a nexus for international insurers and reinsurers, underlining the firm's commitment to enhancing its presence in the region. 

He expressed excitement about collaborating with Singapore's top insurance team and expanding Wotton + Kearney's legal services across Asia.

Established in 2002, Wotton + Kearney has 76 partners and over 360 lawyers across multiple offices in Australia and New Zealand. 

The firm's revenue has seen a substantial increase of 71.6% from FY20 to FY23.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

You're the reader we write for. You're also the person our partners want to reach.

If that sentence describes you — a founder, a C-suite, someone whose attention companies pay good money for — then you already understand why SBR works. We've spent twenty years earning the trust of readers exactly like you. Which is exactly what makes this an interesting place for your company to show up, too.

The ways it can show up are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The right fit depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If your company has something this audience should know about, we'd like to hear what you're working on.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
