Almost a year to the day after Squire, Sanders & Dempsey confirmed it was in merger talks with British firm Hammonds, the Am Law 100 firm has announced that it is making a major push into the Australian legal market by grabbing a sizable chunk of leading Australian firm Minter Ellison‘s Perth office.
In making the move, Squire Sanders, which completed its merger with Hammonds last year, follows in the footsteps of several top U.K. and international firms, becomes one of the few U.S. firms to enter the Australian market in recent years, and expands its reach into the fast-growing Asia Pacific region.
