Norton Rose Group (post 1 January 2010)
Enhanced Capabilities
The enlarged Norton Rose Group will have over 1800 fee earners in 30 international offices worldwide.
Our offering will be significantly enhanced by the addition of Deacons Australia which will provide 700 fee earners operating from 12 offices in Asia Pacific, making it arguably the most comprehensive across the region.
This will assist in furthering our strategic goals, particularly in the predicted growth markets of the future, namely Asia Pacific.
The increased weight and capability of the legal practice throughout the Asia Pacific region will assist all our offices with the development of their business connections and clients seeking representation in the region. It will also lay a strong base for further regional development and expansion.
