Allen & Overy (A&O) and Debevoise & Plimpton have advised on the sale of ING’s Malaysian insurance operations to AIA Group.

The deal, which completed last month after being announced in October, has seen AIA purchase the Dutch financial services company’s life insurance and employee benefits businesses in Malaysia,  as well as taking a 60% stake in ING’s takaful Islamic insurance business, for a reported value of around $1.7bn (£1bn).
