Ashurst has boosted its M&A practice with the hire of former Clyde & Co corporate chief David Page. He specialises in corporate deals in the insurance and reinsurance sector, with clients including Swiss Re, Credit Suisse Group and Zurich. Page spent 19 years at Clydes, leaving on 30 April. He joined Ashurst on 6 June. The rare external appointment for Ashurst comes as the firm last month recruited Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer senior associate, Fraser Wood, as a partner in the structured finance team.
