6 October 2011
International legal practice Norton Rose Group has won the ‘Innovation in international expansion’ award at the Financial Times Innovative Lawyer Awards 2011.
The ceremony was held yesterday at London's Science Museum.
The award was given in recognition of Norton Rose Group’s innovative expansion strategy which has seen the Group expand into Australia in 2010 and subsequently Canada and Africa in 2011.
The award came the day after it was announced Canadian law firm Macleod Dixon will join Norton Rose Group on 1 January 2012, giving the Group its first offices in Latin America and Kazakhstan.
Peter Martyr, Group Chief Executive, Norton Rose Group said:
"I am delighted that the FT Innovative Lawyer Awards have recognised us in this way. Our success is down to the hard work and dedication of our people - it has been a true team effort".
