NorthStandard expanded its presence in Asia by opening a new office in Seoul, South Korea, a year after its Asia Pacific headquarters was set up in Singapore.

The Seoul office, led by Claims Director Shang Doe Shim from the Singapore office, will start operating in late Spring 2024. This marks NorthStandard's eighth location in the Asia Pacific, emphasising South Korea as the company's largest market in Asia.
