International law firm RPC has advised global insurance broker Howden on its acquisition of AEGIS Insurance Agencies in Singapore, strengthening its commitment to the Asian market.

Established in 2003, AEGIS offers bespoke retail insurance solutions, specialising in professional indemnity, professional liability, pilot loss of license protection, and bonds and financial guarantee schemes.

The acquisition will greatly assist Howden in its ambitions to build a stronger presence in Singapore's private education sector. 

Andrew Carpenter, who led the RPC team, said: “It was a real pleasure to assist Howden on this significant acquisition and support the firm in achieving its ambitions to bolster their presence in the Asian market."

James Mee, RPC's relationship partner, added: "We are delighted once again to work with Howden Group, having advised the firm previously on several acquisitions. RPC looks forward to seeing this rapidly expanding global insurance group continue to make its mark in Singapore".
