Linklaters is drawing up plans to enter the sought-after African legal market, with the firm aiming to replicate its deal with Allens in Australia by linking up with one of South Africa's leading independent law firms.
The plans were set out to partners as part of the magic circle firm's three-year strategy consultation earlier this year, and Linklaters hopes to reach an alliance agreement with a firm during the 2012-13 financial year.
The initiative is being overseen by emerging Europe, Middle East and Africa managing partner Sandeep Katwala, who is in charge of negotiations with potential alliance partners.
