Norton Rose hires Dentons banking head for international push
Share
Norton Rose has continued to build its finance practice with the capture of Denton Wilde Sapte’s co-head of banking Nick Grandage.
Grandage will join the City firm to lead its structured trade and commodity finance practice, helping to organise it across a range of jurisdictions.
The practice includes London-based infrastructure chief Martin McCann and Singapore-based partner Yu-En Ong.
Norton Rose head of banking Jeremy Edwards confirmed that Grandage would be “co-ordinating the offerings around the network”.
He added: “I believe Nick was particularly drawn by the international direction of Norton Rose and the quality and ambition of the trade and commodities team.”
Grandage, who spent five years in Singapore and Hong Kong while at Dentons, has acted for major banks including BNP Paribas, Fortis, Standard Chartered and HSBC.

Great hire, great lawyer, and fluent in Bachi.

Dentons is spectacularly poor at retaining prominent partners. The Denton Hall - Wilde Sapte merger continues to be a case study in unsuccessful law firm mergers

A good guy. DWS should be kicking themselves, but I doubt it.
DWS opened a small practice in Singapore last year focusing in trade finance. If Nick wanted to work in Asia again, why didn't DWS let him move there?
Best of luck to both.

Nick is a good "lad" and I would have thought Norton Rose had quite enough of those.

People do move from one employer to another, especially in a profession like the law, where ambitions run high! Nick's move is just yet another instance of this continuous movement. No big deal!
