The merged Norton Rose Group will be the largest firm in the
Asia-Pacific region, and gives us access to an integrated network
of Norton Rose offices at 30 locations in 23 countries throughout
Australia, Asia, the UK, Europe and the Middle East. We are now
part of a major international law firm headquartered in London, but
with a strong presence in Europe, the Middle East and parts of
Asia.
For our Australian franchising clients there will be very little
difference day to day. We will have a new colour scheme and the
Norton Rose name, but it will be the same people providing the same
service. We will of course have an enhanced capacity to provide
both from Australia and from our foreign offices advice and
assistance with international issues and transactions, and we also
expect management and resourcing efficiencies will flow through to
all clients due to our one firm philosophy.
