Norton Rose to merge with Canada's Ogilvy and South Africa's Deneys

Very interesting move. It's very much like what CC was trying to achieve in late 1990s/early 2000s -but which didn't happen in the end. However, perhaps 10 years ago there just wasn't the business case. But, perhaps now there really is one. Sometimes law firm strategy is like that, the top frms try things out that are not quite ready and then give up or backtrack to more sure ground, meanwhile other firms come along some years later and put it all into practice when the 'conditions are right'. I expect we'll see many more deals like this in the next few years.
