Following a round of transatlantic tie-ups, Norton Rose has announced that it will absorb the Canadian firm Ogilvy Renault and the South African firm Deneys Reitz on 1 June 2011. The coming together of these firms will create one of the 10 largest legal practices in the world with over 2,500 lawyers across 38 offices.
Peter Martyr, group chief executive of the Norton Rose Group, said the tie-up was part of the firm’s strategy to fulfil its global ambition of becoming one of the world’s leading providers of legal services.
“Canada and South Africa are increasingly influential economies for our clients in the energy and natural resources, infrastructure, technology and financial institutions sectors,” said Martyr. “Ogilvy Renault and Deneys Reitz give the group increased strength and depth of resource and expertise in these sectors.”
