Ince—Anne Rose

First shipping partner in Gibraltar comes on board

Ince Gibraltar has announced the appointment of Anne Rose as the first partner in its shipping practice.

Anne joins the firm from Gibraltar firm Hassans, where she was appointed partner in 2017. She specialises in civil and commercial litigation, with a focus on shipping and maritime law. She is highly experienced in handling shipping litigation, including high-profile ship arrests.

Ince’s chief executive Adrian Biles said: ‘As a firm we have a rich heritage in shipping and I am thrilled that we are able to expand our service offering by appointing a partner in Gibraltar to develop the shipping practice in Gibraltar, which is the most recently established Ince office.

‘The office is an important shipping hub in the region and through close collaboration with our Ince offices in Europe, the Middle East and Asia, we will be bringing Ince’s industry leading shipping law expertise to Gibraltar. This appointment for us is yet another step closer in assembling the best, truly global, shipping team in the world.’
