Despite a general under-representation of women in shipping law firms, Ina Lutchmiah is the second female partner to head up Wikborg Rein's Singapore office.
Siri Wennevik, now a partner at HFW, held the post between September 2016 and December 2017.
Wikborg Rein said the firm has a “long history of promoting senior women”, with the posts of global managing partner and managing director of the London office previously held by female partners.
