Allens Arthur Robinson, a 190-year-old Australian law firm, and Linklaters LLP, a London-based firm with 2,200 lawyers, agreed on an alliance to compete internationally with local firms that have grown after combining with foreign ones.
AAR, to be named Allens, and Linklaters will operate independently although they’ve agreed on joint ventures in Asia, including a joint practice in Indonesia, with Widyawan & Partners, Michael Rose, Allens’ chief executive partner, said in a phone interview. The alliance will take effect May 1.
