Norton Rose has launched a formal tie-up in Indonesia with Susandarini & Partners and bulked up its Australian intellectual property (IP) practice.

The firm announced today (1 March) that it has formed a new association with 15-lawyer Susandarini & Partners, ending its previous relationship in Indonesia with Brigitta Rahayoe & Partners.

The tie-up will see the firms referring work to each other, with a number of Norton Rose partners potentially relocating to Jakarta as a result of the agreement.
