Abstract

The article focuses on the growing interest of big law firms to find partners in Australia with an eye to doing business in Asia. Norton Rose of London, England announced that it is merging with Australia's 500-lawyer Deacons by 2010. Other law firms who are considering a merger with Australian firms is British legal giant Clifford Chance who is planning to partner with Mallesons Stephen Jaques, one of Australia's top three firms. It is noted that the focus on Australia is attributed to China's growing interest in Australian coal and iron ore.
